Brad Hollister: Selling A Freight Tech Company For Millions

In this episode of The FreightCaviar Podcast, we sit down with Brad Hollister, the former founder and CEO of SwanLeap. SwanLeap, known for its shipper-side TMS technology and freight payment audit capabilities, started in 2013 and quickly grew. By 2018, it was recognized as America's fastest-growing company by Inc. 5000.

Yet, SwanLeap faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as key clients in the oil industry cut back. These difficulties led to SwanLeap's acquisition by Transportation Insights, where its technology was incorporated into the parent company's services.

Brad Hollister discusses his experience of saying goodbye to the company he founded and looking toward new opportunities.
