The MAD Podcast with Matt Turck · Box’s Big AI Leap: Aaron Levie on Agents & the Future of Work · 17 Apr 2025 podcast

I chose um this category of online storage.

And like as one does in college.

As one does in college.

And like it was obviously like the weirdest, like everyone's doing like, I'm gonna choose Nike and I'm gonna choose, you know, Walmart.

And I chose online storage, which is like obviously totally the weirdest thing um to uh to do.

But what was really cool is it gave me this this sort of you know excuse to kind of think about about a a new product area.

I started kind of, you know, um uh brainstorming the idea with some other people.

S some of the other the the two other co-founders that the uh you know kind of included in that.

Um, and and instantly it kind of hit me and and this group that that okay, there maybe was an opportunity, which was storage was getting cheap.

Um compute was getting cheap, internet was getting faster, people were were hopping around more devices and more computers.

And so maybe there was this moment where you could access your data from anywhere and you just put it in the in the internet.

And it wasn't called the cloud, but but you know, you put it on the internet and you access it from any device.

And um, and that was the original idea.

So we launched it.

Um again, first the the first uh co-founder and and myself, and then and then it didn't.

That was Dylan.

So um so we launched it and and it was it was funny.

So he Dylan's our CFO uh today and and he runs you know kind of a a core chunk of the business.

But but just like back then it was just so funny because like he was like I think we called him like our head of marketing and PR and like the guy, love the guy.

He doesn't have a marketing bonus body.
