The history of Cloudflare's Birthday Weeks and AI innovation with Matthew Prince

In this special episode for our Birthday Week 2024, we discuss how Cloudflare’s Birthday Weeks came to be and how they inspire a series of innovation weeks full of announcements each year.

Host João Tomé is joined by Matthew Prince, Cloudflare’s Co-founder and CEO, in an episode recorded in our new Lisbon office, where Matthew has been living for the past few weeks.

We explore why Cloudflare’s European headquarters is now based in Lisbon, the goals for the new office, and how the company is celebrating its 14th anniversary. Topics include the launch of automatic IPv6 Gateway in 2011, the significance of universal SSL for free in 2014, and how Birthday Week has evolved to inspire innovation weeks throughout the year, aligning with the company's mission of building a better Internet.

We also touch on AI-focused announcements and plans for 2024, providing content creators with better tools and more control and state of the Internet.
