Looking to start your own company/startup? Hear the journey of someone who has succeeded! For this Fireside Chat, we're having Jan Bednar, Founder and CEO of ShipMonk talk about his journey.

Jan grew up in the aftermath of communism in the Czech Republic. Motivated by his family and boyhood idol Jaromir Jagr, Jan emigrated to the United States when he was 16 years old to pursue the American Dream. He formulated the idea that would become ShipMonk back in 2014 while he was enrolled in college. The company was immediately profitable and has since grown to over $11 million in annual revenue.

ShipMonk has been named America's fastest growing fulfillment center by INC 5000.
