TradeShift Launches To Disrupt The Financial System – And Morten Lund Is Advising It

One of the most potentially disruptive startups of the last ten years is emerging into the light this week. And I honestly don’t say that lightly.

Christian Lanng, a former builder of deep e-commerce and security services for the Danish government is co-founder of TradeShift along with a very hard-core team which includes John Bosack who created XML, who is on the board.

But what is perhaps most startling is the re-emergence of early Skype investor Morten Lund on the project. Lund was made famous in tech circles both for his early Skype investment but also for going personally bankrupt two years ago.

TradeShift, which has been operating under the stealth name of Porta till now, is aiming at a very, very big target.

It wants to disrupt how banks and credit card companies process payments between any kind of business, and use the Internet to do it.
