Shawn Vo is the CTO and co-founder of Axle, the all-in-one
financial platform for modern freight brokers. Back in May, they
completed a $10 million Series A round of funding led by Crosslink
Capital. This financing follows a record year for Axle, during
which volume grew 850% on their payments and financing
platform.
A graduate of the University of Virginia, Shawn spent seven years
in financial technology, building software for fast-growing
startups and consulting for the top 20 largest banks before
starting Axle with his longtime business partner and friend,
Bharath Krishnamoorthy. He is also member of the Forbes Technology
Council, as well as an angel investor in fintech and developer
tools.
We discuss the importance of digital transformation initiatives, integrations and personalization in freight brokers' tech stacks. I also learn how moving toward open platform tools will benefit brokers so they can continue to build a tech stack that's personalized specifically for their back-end, data-driven processes.
