The e-commerce platform has opened Shopify New York, a new two-storey space located in Manhattan’s SoHo neighbourhood.
The space has been designed to be a place where both exiting and budding entrepreneurs will be able to attend workshops and events, receive one-to-one support, book photography and podcasting space and sell products via its pop-up shop.
The space includes a podcast studio that is completed with professional-grade audio and video-recording equipment. Experts will also be on hand to offer free, 30-minute one-to-one sessions.
“Much of NYC’s heart and soul comes from its entrepreneurs,” said Harley Finkelstein, President, Shopify. “To keep NYC as one of the most entrepreneurial cities in the world, we’re giving New Yorkers the resources and tools they need to build successful businesses. If you’re a Shopify merchant, a business owner, or an aspiring entrepreneur trying to make it in NYC, make it to Shopify New York. This space is for you.”
