When building a startup, most entrepreneurs can’t predict market trends eight years into the future. For Marc Kuo, mastering world-class delivery algorithms for almost a decade couldn’t have paid off at a better time. “The timing for this whole on-demand delivery ‘fad’ is lucky. I did not see that the industry would be here today.” Marc is the Founder and CEO of Routific, a route optimization solution for delivery businesses. Graduating cum laude with a masters degree in operations research from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, Marc is an expert on advanced route optimization algorithms. Marc’s experience in the field of logistics led him to realize the inefficiencies in delivery algorithms, spawning his idea to create a world-class software that was accepted into Techstars in 2015. In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Marc about the story behind his leading company. You’ll learn why after growing up in the Netherlands and working internationally, Marc decided to start-up and make a home in Vancouver, Canada.
