What apps and AI tools are people at work using without telling the IT team? In this episode of the Cloud Do You Do podcast, Revolgy’s Ashley Saunders talks with Chase Doelling from our partner, JumpCloud, about unapproved software and Shadow AI.

People want to get their tasks done faster, so they try out new AI tools without checking first with their IT department. The risk is that they might be putting private company information directly into public systems.

Chase explains why unapproved AI is different from older software issues, and why blocking websites doesn’t solve the problem. What you’ll find in the episode:

• Data risk: AI learns from whatever information you type into it, which creates security gaps that regular software doesn’t.
• Hidden costs: How companies end up paying for the same software multiple times because different teams might buy their own tools.
• A better approach than blocking: Why it works better to guide people toward safe options instead of just blocking access.
• Getting a clear view: How JumpCloud tracks browser use and login paths to show exactly what apps are running.

In this episode of the Cloud Do You Do podcast, Revolgy’s Štěpán Kaiser sits down with Gelu Sulugiuc, a former financial journalist for Bloomberg and Reuters who traded the newsroom for the startup world. Gelu shares his incredible journey from growing up in communism to building and successfully selling his first AI startup, PLX AI, to Thomson Reuters.

Today, he’s building his next company on Google Cloud. His team creates custom tools that scan financial reports and catch the big news the second it drops.

• Why building specialized, in-house AI models is more accurate and cost-effective than relying on massive LLMs like Claude.
• How automation is freeing up journalists to do real investigative work.
• The future of algorithmic trading for everyday investors.
• Plus, a hilarious story about Gelu’s first day working in Denmark.

In this episode of Cloud Do You Do, Štěpán Kaiser from Revolgy sits down with Tobias Adler, CEO and founder of nuco.cloud — the first crypto startup ever to receive a grant from the German government.

Tobias explains how his need for massive computing power to run stock trading bots in 2014 led him to realize that traditional hyperscalers weren't optimized for the budget constraints of early-stage startups. This sparked the idea for nuco.cloud: a decentralized network that connects professional data centers globally to offer compute power at a more accessible price point.

They discuss the reality of the AI boom, why infrastructure costs often consume 80% of startup funding, and how decentralized infrastructure (DePIN) provides a secure and compliant alternative to the Big Three.

They also discuss:

• How AI startups can drastically reduce compute costs
• Why trust and transparency are key to data security in the cloud
• What the next 3–5 years might hold for AI models and infrastructure
• How government grants and smarter infrastructure can empower innovation
• Will we see a hybrid future where hyperscalers and decentralized clouds work together?
