Shopify president tells Canadians: Now is the time to start a small business
Description
July 16, 2025
On today's episode of "The Ben Mulroney Show," Ben interviews Harley Finkelstein, the President of Shopify, about the evolution of entrepreneurship in Canada, the impact of AI on small businesses, and the importance of fostering a culture of innovation.
Founded in 2006, Shopify has grown to become one of Canada's biggest enterprise business and tech success stories. But every major business starts small, and Finkelstein has some advice for Canadian entrepreneurs: if you're thinking about starting a small business, now is the time.
They discuss the challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs today, the significance of small businesses in the economy, and the need for more role models to inspire future generations of business leaders. Finkelstein emphasizes the current favourable conditions for starting a business in Canada and the democratizing effect of AI technology.
