#1458 How YouSendIt evolved to Hightail to adapt to a changing world

59 minutes

I get shivers as I think about today’s guest, because I remember when I first used his software to send files before I even started Mixergy.

The company did really well but they really needed to evolve because the world changed. It became easier and easier to send large files. Big companies like Google are even enabling it. So I’ve been wondering what happened to that business.

This is an interview about what happens to a company as it starts, evolves with the world, and continues to grow.

Ranjith Kumaran is the founder of Hightail, a software that enables professionals to easily send and share large files securely and get feedback all in one place.
