Shopify was founded in 2006 in Ottawa, Canada, by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after they struggled to find a functional e-commerce solution for their snowboarding website, Snowdevil. Built on Ruby on Rails, it launched as a user-friendly, customizable platform to empower independent merchants. Today, it is a global, publicly traded e-commerce giant serving millions of businesses.
