Matthew Prince is the boss of Cloudflare. The company protects 20 percent of all websites and is considered the pillar of the modern web. He tells why it was about to collapse in April 2020 and what that has to do with the “Star Wars” saga.

Cloudflare’s loft office with a view of Munich’s Viktualienmarkt is pretty well filled for the first time in months. Many of the company that protects websites around the world also work from home. Most of them still came to the office today. The boss is here: Matthew Prince, 48, is a co-founder of the twelve-year-old company. Prince had long since paid off the high tuition fees when he became rich with Cloudflare. He invested in Apple around the time Steve Jobs came back and the stock was down. That was a good idea. Prince looks relaxed, wearing a wool sweater over jeans and a shirt, and sipping a milkshake. Like many tech stocks, Cloudflare stock has been on a long slide. Cloudflare is considered a pillar of the modern Internet, with sales increasing by around 50 percent to more than one billion dollars since last year.
