Hot on the heels of our recent funding announcement (more on that here), we sat down with Betty Liu, Operating Partner @ Maersk Growth, to discuss the story behind the financing and…

• What Maersk hopes to achieve in starting a venture fund,
• The challenges facing the freight brokerage industry (… and how today’s technologies hold the potential to make it radically more efficient),
• What made Maersk move from meeting Loadsmart to leading our latest financing just four months later, and
• How Maersk can now leverage Loadsmart for FTL services.
