Rob Kurver is Founding Partner of CPaaSAA and the host of CASA26.

He works at the intersection of cloud communications, AI, and network APIs — advising telcos, CPaaS platforms, and AI-native scaleups through The Next Cloud, and building the connections between operators, startups, and capital that turn platform capability into commercial outcomes.

His recurring argument: the industry talks too much about infrastructure and not enough about whose problem is being solved, for whom, at what price.
