Dan and Sam co-founded Shypyard in late 2020 with the mission to help e-commerce merchants be more productive and successful. Both Sam and Dan have started their own Shopify stores in the past, so they deeply empathize with the challenges merchants face on a daily basis.
They first met while interning at Facebook in college. Sam grew up in Taiwan, worked at Facebook Marketplace team as a senior engineer, and later created one of the most popular Shopify app (Kiwi Sizing) with over 14k active merchants. Dan was a senior product manager at Linkdeln, leading the notification team which is responsible for over 1/3 of all customer engagements on Linkdeln. Recently Dan just graduated from Harvard Business School.
What are we building?
Shypyard mission is to empower entrepreneurs with the right tools to grow their business. Founded by former Facebook and LinkedIn alum, our first product helps modern merchants and brands automate their business planning and free themselves from Excel. Our solutions unlock time and resources for merchants to do the things they love, whether that’s bring cool products to market, building a brand or growing their customer base.
The company has raised a seed round in early 2022, backed by leading Silicon Valley investors (more public information to be found in press release soon). We offer competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
Ultimately, our vision is to connect the entire ecosystem of suppliers, logistics companies, distributors and merchants into commerce graph and a unified platform generating intelligent recommendations. By doing so, we can transform the global commerce ecosystem to become more transparent, trustworthy and efficient.
