With Amazon’s shadow looming over online retail, Behrens Wu thinks her startup can help. By providing software to help track and manage order shipments, Shippo works to level the playing field, at least partially, giving businesses not in the Jeff Bezos empire more Amazon-style efficiency on their commerce logistics. And with a $20 million Series B investment led by Bessemer Venture Partners, Shippo’s boss hopes the company can do it at a far greater scale.

Laura Behrens Wu is a co-founder and the CEO of Shippo, an enterprise shipping platform.

Small businesses may never be able to match Amazon's volume. But this startup is helping them get a leg up.

Laura Behrens Wu is a co-founder and the Chief Executive Officer of Shippo, a shipping dashboard and API for businesses to ship better. Laura co-founded Shippo after personally experiencing the obstacles businesses face when setting up their shipping operations for her own ecommerce business.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Reaction Commerce, a completely open-source JavaScript platform for ecommerce experiences of today.

Co-founder Laura Behrens Wu explains how the startup is reshaping the logistics industry by helping small companies compete using big data and cloud shipping tools.

Now any merchant using Stripe for managing their e-commerce business can automatically sync their orders to the Shippo dashboard for shipping. Fulfilled orders information will be synced back to Stripe, along with the tracking number of the shipment.

Shippo, who powers shipping at the center of the present day e-commerce revolution, today announced a partnership with Snapfulfil, a leading Cloud warehouse management system (WMS).

Closing a Series A is notoriously hard — so much so that it has been coined the “Series A Crunch.” It’s estimated that only about 25 percent of startups that raise a seed round go on to close an A round.

Shippo announced today that it has raised $7 million for its shipping for business platform.
