Edem Dotse, Founder at Swiftly, Filling the gap for an easier and affordable shipping system [Podcast]

Edem Dotse is the founder and CEO of Swiftly, a disruptive peer-to-peer platform making shipping affordable for everyone.

If you are shipping a container, you can find someone to share your extra space. Sending a package by Air, add it to someone who has extra space or yet still collaborate to fill your shipment and share cost.

Edem has a brilliant view about sharing. He thinks it’s pretty wasteful to ship a half-full container by sea or a half-full air package.
