Leave feedback! Today I am speaking with Anna Kazlauskas, CEO and Co-founder at Vana. A builder at heart who discovered programming through graphing calculators, Anna"s journey spans from mining cryptocurrency in MIT"s dorm rooms to pioneering decentralized AI solutions. Her unique background combines computer science and economics, including work at the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and Cello, where she focused on making blockchain accessible on mobile devices. At Vana, Anna is revolutionizing how users own and monetize their data in the AI era, drawing inspiration from her Filipino heritage and passion for creating global opportunities in tech. A testament to her innovative spirit, she built her first startup after automating document processing at the World Bank, and now leads Vana"s mission to establish a new paradigm for data ownership in the age of artificial intelligence. I started the conversation with Anna by talking about her upbringing in Montreal, Sweden, and Minnesota, and how her early curiosity led her to take apart appliances and read instruction manuals, shaping her systematic approach to understanding technology.
