Chris Sheldrick: The Founder Taking on the World

We normally can’t see it at the time but bad things often play a critical role in good things happening. As Steve Jobs famously said, it’ll make sense looking backwards. This is exactly what happened to Chris Sheldrick who had plans to be a professional bassoonist but a freak injury changed the course of life.Chris is now the Co-Founder and CEO of What3Words, an alarmingly simple solution to a complex problem you didn’t know we had - addresses.Lots of places don’t have addresses - like a barge on a canal, or a spot on a mountainside. This makes it difficult to deliver or do things at those addresses so Chris’s solution was to turn the world into 57 trillion 3-metre squares and give each of those squares a three word name, e.g. house, dog, car.But it’s one thing haven’t a genius idea. It’s another thing executing on it. Find out how Chris has done it.We talk about: Why a young kid would play the bassoon  How sleepwalking can go wrong Why being polarising is good  How to raise funds Using What3Words to help in disasters The business model Feedback: hello@secretleaders.com Sponsor links: evelyn.com/secretleaders svb.com/uk transparent.biz/SL vanta.com/secretleaders What3WordsThe what3words app, available for iOS and Android, and the online map enables people to find, share and navigate to what3words addresses in 51 languages to date.

Wired’s Steve Levy on Meta and What3words’ founder Chris Sheldrick on mapping the world

 Chris Sheldrick is currently Co-Founder &amp; CEO of what3words. Before taking the current role, he had more than 10 years of experience in the music industry, managing production for events all over the world. He quickly discovered that in the music world, people are frustrated and struggle with finding and navigating ways to the events. Chris tried distributing addresses and that is how what3words was born. As a global positioning system, what3words makes it easier for users to locate anywhere on earth even if the place does not have a specific address such as building entrances. So what exactly is what3words and how does it work? Let’s find out in this Vietnam Innovators podcast episode with host Hao Tran! Listen to this episode on YouTube. And explore many amazing articles at the website vietcetera.com.Thank  Jio Health for sponsoring this episode.  With a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem, Jio Health integrates technology to optimize the examination experience for their customers. The Jio Smart Clinic provides a multi-specialty clinic experience with a team of elite doctors and cutting-edge technologies. With the Series B investment of up to 20 million USD, Jio Health is coming closer to expanding their Smart Clinics system nationwide.

S3#9 Chris Sheldrick - Co Founder & CEO - What3words: ‘Nowhere’ has an address too

Welcome to The Busi-ness Podcast.Today I am joined by Chris Sheldrick, Co-founder &amp; CEO of what3words.With a background in the music industry, Chris noticed that traditional addresses for venues and precise stage doors or loading bays were not accurate enough. As a result, he set out to make a simpler version of addresses using just three words…meet what3words.Working with co-founders comes with swings and roundabouts but Chris explains how his team had an ideal natural balance, with everyone responsible for their separate areas of business.Faced with a unique proposition, Chris unusually felt he wasn’t faced with direct competitors. Instead, Chris spent his time understanding what his consumers currently use and how he can simplify this.Partnering with large companies such as Lamborghini is an essential part of what3words’ strategy. It’s evident that even though not everyone owns a Lamborghini, consideration, awareness, and credibility can be built through strategic partnerships.Focusing on the entire world, Chris and his co-founders faced a huge challenge during targeting. Receiving lots of opinion on where to direct the business, the team identified a combination of these which worked for them.Having never fundraised previously, Chris explains that there’s no written playbook and talks through just some examples of funding which may be suitable for some businesses.There’s a lot to learn from such an industry changing business in a unique space.I hope you enjoy this episode of The Busi-ness Podcast.

Unboxing - The BiGG & THICC Inspirational Story with Chris Sheldrick

What3Words is a global address system that has assigned three-word labels to all of the 57 million 3-meter squares that make up the surface of the earth. That approach enables you to go to the front door of house, the side door of an office building, the middle of city block, a specific tree in a park, or even a remote jungle location. It offers precision in space that is far superior to our postal address system and is more accessible than GPS coordinates.  Chris Sheldrick, CEO and co-founder of What3Words, discusses the origin behind the solution, his work in the automotive, transportation, and government sectors and how the approach aligns well with the rise of voice assistants.
