From A Garage To Its Own Warehouse, How Boxed Grew Fast

How do you scale when your business depends on it? Chieh Huang of Boxed knows this well; his company is like an online wholesale club (with no membership fees), and in four years, he took it from a garage to $150 million in funding and its own custom-built warehouse. In doing so, he survived one of the hardest kinds of uphill battles in business.

Huang shares how he got over the hump. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
