Listen "E15: The Brutal Truth About Shopify Right Now with Sean Frank"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the SAAS Operators Podcast, Sean Frank, The CEO of Ridge and one of the hosts of the Operators podcast joins us for a frank conversation state of ecommerce on Shopify, Amazon and how SAAS is adapting. From pricing, to surviving market conditions, we talk about the tradeoffs between usage, seat-based and flat-rate pricing. Sean shares why Ridge is scaling through new product categories, not just wallets, and what it really means to have leverage as a $100M+ brand. We talk about ecommerce’s post-COVID contraction, the fading flood of VC money, and why fewer founders are entering the space. And we close with a debate on whether vibe coders will eat the Shopify App Store, how to survive rising CAC, and why niche monopolies might be the most underrated startup strategy.
