Bio
Rob Hango-Zada is the co-founder and co-CEO of Shippit; Shippit is a platform that powers the simpler delivery for online retailers; from automating their shipping and returns, to empowering the retailer’s customer with tracking information at their fingertips.
Australian Financial Review recently called Shippit, “The Australian poster child for the defence against Amazon”. It’s also, what many would call the Australian poster child of a startup success story, and it goes like this;
Two good friends identify a glaring problem,
They build a prototype while they had full-time jobs,
They win a series of pitches, leave their jobs,
Raise a few million dollars,
Generate a few more million and now their product is being used by the countries biggest names in e-commerce, from Harvey Norman to Sephora and TopShop.
That’s the story we can Google… it sounds like a dream run. They followed the startup template to a ’T’ and it paid off. However, in my chat with Rob, we pull the curtains back and hear the true journey to present day triumph – a journey full of obstacles, risk and close calls.
