Harley Finkelstein, he's a nice guy. Not a co-founder but very important to the history and running of Shopify.

Just going by the Google snippet I got when searching for “shopify ceo”. Not sure if the downvotes I got are because somone thinks that the co-founding aspect is wrong or because they think that him being a billionaire is irrelevant, but IMO it makes the fact he’s opening PRs even cooler.

There was 3 cofounders. Scott Lake left relatively early but Daniel Weinand (designer) stayed on for a while.
