I know employees & officers in the company are, but are the investors, as well (honest question)?

Yes, it's very uncommon (but not unheard of) to have large blocks of stock that aren't locked up in an IPO.

For SHOP specifically, 99.9% of the Class B stock (i.e., stock outstanding pre-IPO) is locked up for 180 days. (See underwriting section of the prospectus)
