Shippo Makes The Necessary Evil Of Shipping For Businesses Easy

Laura Behrens-Wu had no interest in entrepreneurism nor shipping – and yet here she is, entrepreneur supreme, as cofounder and CEO of Shippo, a company dedicated to ease up the complicated, costly yet necessary field of getting stuff where it needs to go.

The company has recently raised $30 million and is zipping along with 65 employees. Hear Behrens-Wu talk about the setbacks, the inspiration and lessons learned as she dived into the very thing she never knew she wanted to do.
