Culture Video
Ryan Petersen, founder of Flexport, believes that nothing helps people improve their lives more than the ability to trade with one another. And, yet, even in the era of free trade, international shipping for businesses is still way too cumbersome. If Flexport succeeds, the chair you’re sitting on, the phone you’re holding, and the clothes you’re wearing will all cost less.
Shipping anything internationally is a complicated series of steps. The young shipping entrepreneur Ryan Peterson and his company Flexport are slashing those steps and helping clients find a faster, cheaper way to bring that package to your door.
