David Minarsch didn’t want to build another centralized AI platform. He watched the same infrastructure patterns repeat themselves across tech’s landscape: first came the dominance of a few massive companies, then came the creators who built on those platforms only to discover they’d built on someone else’s land.
Today, the Olas founder is solving that problem at the intersection of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. Through Pearl, his consumer-facing AI agent application, Minarsch is enabling everyday users to build, own, and profit from their own autonomous agents.
