Tradeshift

At Tradeshift, we're building a more connected world.

It began with a dream.

In 2005, entrepreneurs Christian, Mikkel and Gert had a vision: to connect every business in the world.

They saw that the world was getting more connected every day. But no one was building the digital infrastructure required to link the global economy.

So when the Danish National IT & Telecom Agency asked them to create an e-invoice network, they saw an opportunity.

First, they built EasyTrade, the world’s first open-source trade platform.*

They played a central role in the European Commission’s PEPPOL initiative, building electronic invoicing and e-business infrastructure and standards that have become a de facto standard for compliance models around the world.

Then the trio swapped a cozy corporate office for a freezing garage in Copenhagen.

And got to work on something bigger.

Inspired by social networking sites like LinkedIn, Tradeshift was born out of a desire to build something truly different and impactful. A global trade network, encompassing every interaction between a buyer and a supplier, and delivering tangible value to every participant.

*95% of Danish businesses still use it today.

Bigger team. Same vision.

Tradeshift has grown to over 400 people spanning every corner of the globe. Our network is home to a thriving community of more than a million business users. And we count a number of the world’s most respected financial institutions, BPOs and technology companies as our partners.

Our values

• One team, one mission: No individual contributor can get us to our goals alone. We’re all on the same team, and we treat each other that way. We seek out opportunities to collaborate, regardless of with whom, when, or where.

• Win for our customers first: When we listen to and take others’ wants and needs to heart, we gain a deeper understanding of who they are, and can create real value for them.

• Never stop challenging the status quo: We continually challenge ourselves and others to be better; we challenge processes and systems that aren’t working; and most of all, we challenge the notion that anything should go without being challenged.
