When building a startup, most entrepreneurs canât predict market trends eight years into the future. For Marc Kuo, mastering world-class delivery algorithms for almost a decade couldnât have paid off at a better time.
âThe timing for this whole on-demand delivery âfadâ is lucky. I did not see that the industry would be here today,â said Kuo.
Kuo is the Founder and CEO of Routific, a route optimization solution for delivery businesses. Graduating cum laude with a masters degree in operations research from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, Kuo is an expert on advanced route optimization algorithms. Kuoâs experience in the field of logistics led him to realize the inefficiencies in delivery algorithms, spawning his idea to create a world-class software that was accepted into Techstars in 2015.
In this weekâs #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Kuo about the story behind his leading company. Youâll learn why after growing up in the Netherlands and working internationally, Kuo decided to start-up and make a home in Vancouver, Canada.
