Graham Krizek established Voltage in October 2020, aiming to streamline the development process for Bitcoin and Lightning Network applications. Frustrated by the lack of a cloud infrastructure for Bitcoin builders, Krizek recognized the challenges facing developers who repeatedly built from scratch. His interest intensified upon discovering the Lightning Network's potential for Bitcoin adoption, prompting him to create a platform that simplifies the deployment of Lightning nodes. This allows developers to focus on creating applications without bogging down in complex setup processes.
"The problem that I saw was that everyone was building everything from scratch - over and over again. There was no cloud environment where you could just spin up Bitcoin infrastructure and be able to start developing against it."
"When I found Lightning, I said to myself 'Okay, this is the next phase of Bitcoin adoption, the thing that's going to really drive it to the next level.'"
"We need a cloud provider where you can just click a button and have a Lightning node running and maintained for you. It can just be there so we can develop applications and build the projects we want to build much easier, much faster."
