Shopify believes a far more diverse group of people will come to adopt the mantle of “entrepreneur.” The vision for Shopify in L.A. is to make mentorship and in-person training readily available for this group of creative problem-solvers so they, in turn, are equipped to navigate the fast-changing landscape of entrepreneurship.
When the flagship in Downtown L.A. opened in late 2018, I flew down to cover the launch, interview entrepreneurs attending the opening, and communicate the vision for the innovative space in a launch post for the Shopify blog.
