In this week’s episode, Chris sits down with Christian Lanng, Co-founder and CEO of Tradeshift, a company that has reached the elusive Unicorn status ($1B+ valuation). We talk about the early days and how the founding team had to make some hard decisions around electrical resources. Specifically deciding whether to turn on the space heaters or to charge their laptops, given turning on both would blow the fuse box (hard decisions when outside it is -20 degrees). That and the story of how they came up with the name Tradeshift as a result of an editorial deadline for a Wired Magazine article (and the pun they were afraid people would mistake Tradeshift for).
