## Quote — verbatim

> Really founded Akash to democratize cloud and compute, because compute is the fabric that connects the modern society, and that controlled by a few people that are unelected, that take tax from us, is not a future that I want for me.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Greg's self-introduction; he also credits Cornell for the supercloud idea and calls Akash "the world's first supercloud."
