History
In 2005, entrepreneurs Christian Lanng, Mikkel Hippe Brun and Gert Sylvest built a public e-invoicing network for the Danish National IT & Telecom Agency, which they saw as an opportunity to create something bigger. Two years later they built EasyTrade, the world’s first open-source trade platform that is still in use by 95% of the Danish government. By this time, their vision expanded to connect every business in the world, not just Europe, and Tradeshift was born in 2009 and launched in 2010 in five languages
