THE LOGICAL CHOICE - Building the Uber of Heavy Deliveries with the Founder and CEO of GoShare Shaun Savage, Part 1

In this episode, Eric is joined by Shaun Savage, San Diego based Founder and CEO of GoShare - a cloud based logistics platform that connects truck owners with businesses and individuals to provide on-demand delivery & moving services. 

Shaun’s entrepreneurial journey began when he started a house painting business with a few friends from college. One of the biggest challenges he had at the time was making sure that materials were delivered to the painting site. At the time he wished for a service that ultimately became GoShare - a way to have heavy things delivered on-demand.

GoShare was not the first company to go after their market. The thing that differentiated them was their laser focus on making communication between drivers and companies seamless, which is how they got to serve 10’s of thousands of customers. That led them to having conversations with large retailers, which opened their eyes to the fact that there’s a whole market out there that is currently outsourcing their delivery process to non-tech companies, which led to slow turnaround times and a ton of frustration.

There were plenty of growing pains along the way. In the early stages, a lack of trust was a huge problem. Shaun shares a story where he contacted a client to chat about their service, and the person on the other line said that they were thinking they’ll never see the mattress again. In later stages, the classic pain points of acquiring funding and building the right systems all came into play.
