Ventures from The Valley · 2026-01-08 · 1h 4m
Most people think disruption is about technology. In reality, it’s about winning inside chaos, regulation, and imperfect systems - before the rules catch up. In this episode of Ventures from the Valley, I sit down with Lane Kasselman, President of Blockchain.com and one of the earliest executives at Uber, to unpack what it truly takes to scale category-defining companies in the most regulated environments on earth. We talk candidly about how Uber forced regulation to follow adoption, how that mindset carried into Blockchain.com, and why the next crypto cycle will look fundamentally different from the last. This is not a conversation about hype. It’s a masterclass on building real companies that survive cycles, scrutiny, and scale.
