The Shipping Company That Doesn't Own the Trucks
eShipper built its business in the space between a merchant's checkout button and the customer's front door. Its wager is simple: small and midsize sellers can borrow the buying power, software and supply-chain discipline of a much larger company.
EasyPost
EasyPost is a Utah-based logistics technology company that built the first RESTful shipping API, giving developers a single integration point to rate-shop, buy and print labels, verify addresses, track packages and insure shipments across 100+ carriers worldwide. Founded in 2012 by Jarrett Streebin, it removes the technical complexity of shipping so e-commerce brands, marketplaces and fulfillment providers can ship like Amazon without rebuilding carrier plumbing from scratch.
Jarrett Streebin
Jarrett Streebin is the founder and CEO of EasyPost, the shipping API company he started in 2012 after getting tired of wrestling with the SOAP and XML systems that FedEx, UPS, and USPS forced on developers. Pitched as 'a Stripe for shipping,' EasyPost gave online retailers a clean RESTful API for labels, tracking, address verification, and insurance across more than 100 carriers. The company went through Y Combinator's Summer 2013 batch on its second try, grew to hundreds of employees in Lehi, Utah, and reached a reported $1.5 billion valuation. Streebin, a UC Berkeley grad originally from Oklahoma, is a relentless reader who credits books, early mornings, and a 'it takes a village' approach for the company's climb.
