For Canada to reach its true potential, we need a founder mindset in every sector of high leverage and influence. I hope more builders take this into their own hands and bring their time, resources, and mission alignment to these places. This is the way.

"Toronto is just having such a special moment in technology. Shopify opened offices here six years ago and we’ve seen such a wealth amount of talent and diverse talent from around the world join us," said Satish Kanwar.
Local pickup & delivery, gift cards, and more capital coming to all Shopify merchants. Shopify is also free for 90 days to those who need help making the move online. More coming... 💚
We've done a deal a quarter since Shopify went public in 2015 (and we're not the only ones). Shopify has insane talent retention, and imho it's hard to be an operator and invest more than this.
