This time, we (⁠Chase Van Etten⁠ & ⁠Daniel Keller⁠) have a conversation with ⁠Are.na⁠ co-founder and CEO ⁠Charles Broskoski⁠ (⁠@broskoski)⁠. We chat about our early lives online, our respective net.art pasts and his experience starting what was initially a somewhat niche site for ex-⁠del.icio.us⁠ refugees and ⁠surf club⁠ members, that has over the past decade-plus become a veritable online institution and essential tool for research and thought, with a diehard cult following, a sustainable no-vc business model, and goals to persist into the next century.
