Dynamo Discussions

Santosh shares his perspective on: the Uber firings (including the infamous Levandowski), the future of meal delivery, the failure of shipping companies and the Walmart/Amazon saga.

This week, Santosh discusses Mark Fields leaving Ford, the Waymo + Lyft + GM triad, and how the digitization of freight forwarding and shipping is interacting with the more human-centric customer service aspects of the industry.

Santosh talks about the huge opportunities available in emerging markets, warehousing technologies, and a new way of doing accelerators/ incubators.

Minivans are apparently cool now, roads are made of plastic, Uber is Satan + more! Katlyn and Santosh keep you up to speed on all logistics tech happenings from the week.

Hunter and his team are taking on the notoriously difficult last-mile logistics. They provide heavy lifting, delivery, receiving and short-term warehousing for businesses + their customers. But it's more than just providing those services. They provide a next-level customer experience that makes all the difference.

From small gestures, like delivering coffee with all morning deliveries, to developing a people-centric team through consistent reinforcement of values and mottos like "a lot a bit of culture and a little bit of competition," Schlep understands that people drive the logistics tech industry.
