It may appear that way, but it's not surprising at all.

First of all, it's a great business. Shopify is exploding like crypto kittens, and with millions of sellers, even if you secure just the top sellers, let's say 1% of the Shopify market, and charge $10,000 per year, that's a 100-million-dollar-business. That's incredible.

From there, you have a choice to either expand further in the market, or start offering more advanced tools to your best customers. Given that Shopify is currently at 100B market cap, yours could be 1B in just a few years, if not sooner.

It's brilliant!

Yeah, I feel like people don't understand how big shopify is and how quickly it's growing. If you look at Elliot who just failed trying to be a competitor to shopify, you will realise that this is a much better route to go.
