The Tradeshift story
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. So when the Danish National IT & Telecom Agency asked them to create an e-invoice network, they saw an opportunity to create something bigger.
First, they built EasyTrade, the world’s first open-source trade platform.* (Did they blow a few minds and break some rules along the way? You bet they did.)
Then, the trio got to work again. This time, to realize their vision of an open business platform for the whole world, not just Europe. A platform that would transform the way businesses work together. From broken to efficient; from complicated to simple; from archaic to modern.
And so, Tradeshift was born.
*95% of Danish businesses still use it today.

Co-founder & CEO
The difference between having all your suppliers connected, and just a tiny part, is the difference between night and day in running your business.
Mikkel Hippe Brun
Co-Founder, SVP & GM, Payment Automation
If you look at your supply chain as an arena to penny-pinch, as opposed to treating your suppliers as partners, you’ll miss a competitive advantage that allows you to be better, more productive and more efficient.
Gert Sylvest
Co-Founder, SVP & GM, SMB
Marrying social technology with hard transactions will change the way the world thinks about business and finance, and allow us to bridge major digital divides.
Bigger team. Same vision.
Tradeshift has grown to over 800 people with offices in 13 countries, but our focus hasn’t wavered. We believe that nothing connects a fragmented world like commerce. We digitize and connect everything that happens between a buyer and a seller, anywhere in the world.
