M ove over, Silicon Valley. The newest additions to the angel investor Hall of Fame are a little-known husband and wife from Toronto, who are now each worth $1 billion thanks to a small investment they made 13 years ago in Shopify, a software platform that helps small and midsize businesses launch and manage their online stores.
These investors have benefited from a stock that has climbed an incredible thirty-fold since its 2015 initial public offering. The company now sports a market cap of $60 billion, making it Canada's seventh most valuable company, ahead of the likes of Canadian Pacific Railway and Thomson Reuters. It has also become a millionaire factory for Shopify's 5,000 workers, who sit on stock awards worth $2.2 billion.

Why Shopify (SHOP) Stock Looks Like a Risky Bet | InvestorPlace

The question is, how long can this kind of growth continue? Shopify has many fans in the investment community — obviously — but Shopify is showing some worrying signs. The company may be a little riskier than its performance suggests, and with the shares trading around $500, buying them at the wrong time could prove to be an expensive mistake.

Shopify Inc.'s plans to roll out a $1 billion physical distribution network across the U.S. could eventually pose a competitive threat to e-commerce rival Amazon.com Inc. but only if the Canadian company is successful in providing fast, affordable delivery service to small and mid-sized businesses over the next five years, experts say.
Facebook's Libra Association joined by Shopify - ThePaypers
The company also plans to operate a node that processes transactions for the Facebook-originated stable coin. Techcrunch reports that if Libra manages to assuage international regulators’ concerns, Shopify could gain a way to process transactions without paying credit card fees. Also, Libra is designed to move between wallets with zero or nearly-zero fees, which could save money for Shopify and the 1 million merchants running online shops on its platform.
