Weโ€™re Cameron and Bradley Priest, Founders, CEO and CTO of Tradegecko. Ask us Anything!

Hi TIA!

Bradley and Cameron

Cameron for postIโ€™m Cameron Priest, the CEO and Co-Founder of TradeGecko, a SaaS startup based in Singapore, weโ€™re building the platform for commerce companies to scale their businesses (manage inventory and orders, connect to marketplaces, set up online shops etc.,). Weโ€™ve raised over $10m so far and have ambitions to be the biggest global tech company based out of Singapore (and then the worldโ€ฆ โ€˜insert maniacal laugh hereโ€™).

Iโ€™ve never worked a corporate job, did a bit of importing and online retailing as a teen and then co-founded a web dev agency after Uni, had a couple of other failed startups in NZ along the way. With TradeGecko, weโ€™re serving thousands of customers in over 100 countries and helping our customers process billions worth of sales on our commerce platform.

Feel free to ask me anything, but a few topics of interest include:

  • Building a Global company in Singapore (vs a local or regional one)
  • Raising that first round of funding (and second, and third)?
  • Should I move to the Valley (probably)?
  • How does raising in Singapore compare to raising in the valley?
Brad for post
And Iโ€™m Bradley Priest, CTO and also Co-Founder of TradeGecko. Me and my team build and maintain the TradeGecko tech.
Weโ€™ve grown TradeGecko from a figment in our brains to a platform serving over ten thousand active users across 100 countries handling hundreds of millions of dollars of sales every month (and growing).
Iโ€™m entirely self-taught, and didnโ€™t start coding until my early-mid 20โ€™s, I now lead a team of 25 amazing engineers, designers and product managers based out of our Singapore headquarters.
Iโ€™m happy to answer any questions, particularly around:
  • Getting into the technology scene (as an entrepreneur, engineer or whatever)
  • Finding talented people and helping them grow
  • Turning ideas into tangible products
  • What itโ€™s like starting a business with your brother ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ask Away!
