Biography
Previously, David co-founded Sia, the decentralized cloud storage network that reached a $3B market cap, and built a custom ASIC mining business that generated over $30M in revenue. Helium’s founder cited his work on Sia as a core inspiration for the Helium network. After more than a decade of building at the frontier of crypto, David launched Glow with a simple thesis: blockchains are better than traditional subsidies at defining, aligning, and enforcing incentives, and subsidies are just incentives. Glow upgrades the subsidy.
Glow’s mission is to build the world’s largest solar network, powered by people, for the people who need it most. Since Glow V2 launched in October 2025, the protocol has scaled to 9 live regions across the US and India, including the newly launched Ratan Rajasthan, with Lebanon and Argentina next in the pipeline.
