I used to think in years. Now I think in decades. When I started @Kong, I might have guessed we'd hit certain milestones sooner than we did. But looking back, we've also built something FAR bigger than anything I could have mapped out at the start. Both things are true at the same time — and that tension taught me something I wish I'd understood earlier. We overestimate what we can do in the short term, and we dramatically underestimate what we can do in the long term. The companies that compound — the ones that end up defining their era — aren't necessarily the ones moving fastest in year one. They're the ones who identified something foundational. For us, that was APIs. The world was going to generate more APIs, more connections, more traffic — no matter what. That was true in 2015. It was true in 2020. It's more true today than ever, now that every AI agent on the planet runs on APIs. We didn't need to predict the LLM revolution. We just stayed close to something fundamental and made sure we did it better than anyone else in the world. That's what a long time horizon gives you. Not certainty about the destination — but the patience to let the right bets compound. I think about this a lot as we build Kong into the connectivity layer for the AI era. We're in the middle of something that will take another decade to fully emerge, even as it changes every day. That's exactly where we want to be.
