Summation with Auren Hoffman

February 9, 2026

World of DaaS is now Summation with Auren Hoffman. While we’re proud of our roots in the data world, our conversations have evolved. Summation better reflects our obsession with finding the non-obvious ideas that shape our world. What’s changing? Just the name.

Hello, fellow data nerds. World of DaaS is now Summation. When we started World of DaaS, it was a show exclusively about data as a service. But over the years, our best conversations have explored everything from geopolitics to finding talent to the hidden mechanics of venture capital to how to live 50% longer. The pod is now super popular. We're about to hit 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. We outgrew the World of DaaS name, and we're returning to a project I started when I was 14 years old, and the banner that I've written under since then, Summation. Now Summation with Auren Hoffman. The name change will be a bit confusing, so bear with us as we make the changes. It's still the same show, just with a new name, that reflects our continued search for the non-obvious ideas that move the world. Our first episode as Summation drops Wednesday, awesome, super cool, one of our best shows. So if you're already subscribed, nothing changes. Just keep using the same feed that you're using. If you're new, welcome. Hit subscribe. Come along for the ride. And thank you for the support. As always, goodbye gated nerds.
