I love this team @Shopify 🙌🏼

Today marks 6 years at @Shopify. Been a wild ride of giant boxes dropped in the middle of IRCE, @KylieJenner pop ups, Shop Class, thousands of activations, empowering millions of entrepreneurs globally, and now Shopify LA & NYC. All I can say is that I’m ready for more 🎉🏆👀

@HenriHelvetica @PinkRobotTO @Shopify I’m not trying to build right now fam

@PinkRobotTO @Shopify BTW, did I ever show you this??

Over the past 6 years I’ve had the honour of building amazing things with some phenomenal people. I’ll cherish those experiences, memories and humans in my heart forever ❤️. Thank you @Shopify for everything ✌🏽. Up next? 2 months off for rest and relaxation! #inmylastdayfeels

@tweetemmab @LorenPadelford @PinkRobotTO @Shopify All of this

@LorenPadelford @PinkRobotTO @Shopify THIS THIS THIS

Wait we all deserve 2 launches like @kanyewest

@bradyparon @PinkRobotTO @Shopify I’m not okay and I blame you

@bradyparon @PinkRobotTO @Shopify Can we agree to agree for once. This is hard

@spncrbtt @PinkRobotTO @Shopify I’m having a hard time

@bradyparon @PinkRobotTO @Shopify Bradddyyyyyy

@PinkRobotTO @Shopify You honestly impacted me in a way that’s hard to put into words. I believe in you and celebrate you. The world needs more Shavs. Funny thing is I know that’s your mission as well. Bringing light to the light that already exists. Happy travels. I know we will meet again.

@Shopify thank you. Thank you for believing in entrepreneurs. Thank you for creating tools that can change someone’s life for the better. Thank you for enabling me to be an entrepreneur, myself. This space is a love letter to NYC. If you can make it here, make it here 🗽

🎉🎉🎉

@michaelperry So proud of you. Legit your biggest fan

More than anything,I’ve come to learn that the system is so incredibly broken for parents in every way imaginable. Some much worse than others I am more inspired than ever to commit the rest of my life participating with a lot of great people and companies to make change happen

just like that, a year went by: -3.5+m raised -5,000+ beta users -partnerships w @TaskRabbit, @yumi,@bobbiebabyco,+ more -put out a blog and hosted panels -work w/ 10 amazing people -clearly decades of work ahead -still failing often & learning a lot -launching for everyone soon

@hpgodiksen @harleyf @Shopify Thanks HP!

@qedkorc @alexgarcia_atx @harleyf @Shopify Great call out. Everyone is invited. Bonus points if you have an idea for a business or are already in business and want some friendly help and resources from the Shopify team.

@debackermagic @alexgarcia_atx @harleyf @Shopify what qualifies "an entrepreneur"? how is it different from "anyone"? this feels like an important distinction!

@sjgreggwallace @Shopify It was all of our chats. You’re inspiring. Thank you for your leadership

So excited to see this come alive. A place for entrepreneurs building in NY to connect with other builders. "If you can make it here, make it here." 💪 amazing work @debackermagic @Shopify

The entrepreneur OG @harleyf lives and breathes what it is to be an entrepreneur

@alexgarcia_atx @harleyf @Shopify My question as well. Is it drop in for work or reservations/subscription? Thanks!

@harleyf @Shopify Anyone can come visit and work?

@dustineichler @harleyf This space doesn’t have a bookable “workspace” but we have some areas where you can hang and work. It is a space for learning with workshops, creating with a photo and podcast studio, and building with growth lab classes and events. Excited for you to see it!

@gab_nyc @Shopify All praise to the OG of experience, G

For the next time you are asked or wonder how New York is doing…we’re doing just fine. Largely because of the business owners who keep this city alive. Tomorrow @Shopify opens it’s doors in SoHo to a space made for and by entrepreneurs, #SHOPIFYNY, and I’m so excited for it!
