76: Jason Traff, Founder and President of Shipwell

This week we went deep on supply chain and logistics. I know what you’re thinking - supply chain isn’t exactly the sexiest topic, but it’s deceptively important. Every commerce transaction in the world requires interdependent supply chains. There are very few businesses where it feels like the proxy for the market size is some variant of GDP. Amazon is a really obvious example of a business that would fit this description. Shipwell is another.

It’s why I was so excited to speak with Jason Traff, Founder and President of Shipwell this week. Shipwell has raised over $50M to develop a supply chain operating system for the enterprise, transforming supply chains by replacing manual process with a fully connected logistics ecosystem. Jason and I talked about a lot of topics in this conversation - (1) the fundamental leaps in quantum computing that power a company like Shipwell to exist, (2) how big of an opportunity this really is, and (3) how he’s grown 400% through COVID.
