To our partners: on Aug 1st we are removing all revenue share on your first $1M. That means you will keep 100% of your first $1M when you sell on @Shopify ’s app store. The best part? At the end of every year, the numbers reset. Every single year, your 1st million is all yours.

We are currently living in the entrepreneur equivalent to the gold rush. In the last year, 5.4M business applications were filed in the USA alone - almost 2x the 15 yr avg of 2.8M/yr. There has never been a better time to start a business.

During @shopify 's Series A we were told the total addressable market for ecommerce was too small. What people failed to see was we were going to expand the definition of entrepreneurship & make it more accessible. More on this on @APompliano Podcast 👇

Entrepreneurship is difficult - that’s reality. What we are doing @Shopify is trying to make the cost of failure as close to 0 as possible. We built our product so entrepreneurs can try their hand at a business more than once. Why? Because your first idea is not always your last.

You can have the greatest product in the world, but if people don’t understand your why or what your product is being hired to do, you aren’t going to go far. The number one skill every entrepreneur needs to learn is how to be a strong storyteller.

What the headlines will say: @Shopify ’s Revenue was up +31%, and GMV grew +17% outpacing the broader US retail market. What matters: @Shopify is the commerce everywhere company, and we are well positioned for the next era of entrepreneurship.
