The Future of Communication Over the Internet, Matthew Hodgson, Co-founder, Matrix.org

Aug 24, 2020

Matthew Hodgson is the technical co-founder of Matrix.org and CEO/CTO of New Vector and he thinks the way we communicate, from a CEO, government, and personal level is broken. But he also has a way to fix it. He believes that the future of communication is through the decentralized web and a flexible, encrypted, open-source network which is exactly what Matrix provides. Whether it’s the entire German government, hundreds of universities around the world or others, there is a shift happening in how people are interacting, and Matrix is at the center of it all. On this episode, Matthew explains how and why all these customers are finding value in Matrix with host Avishai Sharlin and guest co-host, Moshe Friedman, the Head of Amdocs Ventures.

3 Takeaways:

 

• The internet does not currently work as it needs to as a tool for communication. People rely too much on siloed applications rather than one single source of communication

• The Matrix platform is enticing for customers like the German government because it offers the flexibility, encryption and open-source access that other communication tools do not

• There is an opportunity to return control of communication to the hands of the people and end-users
