Our Shopify Ventures portfolio companies recently benefited from an insightful AMA session with John Michael Hogan , Product Lead for Shopify 's App Ecosystem. The discussion focused on strategies to enhance effectiveness within our App Store. Here are some takeaways: 1️⃣ Keyword planning: Tailor your keywords specifically for the Shopify App Store, where merchants use more precise, function-oriented terms like “abandoned cart recovery” or “upsell” compared to the broader keywords often searched on Google, such as “top rated Shopify apps to solve abandoned carts” or “Best Shopify upsell apps 2024.” https://lnkd.in/grdbwhKb 2️⃣ Reviews: Focus on 1:1 customer interactions to obtain meaningful, unbiased feedback. Keep in mind that positive reviews play a significant part in improving your app’s visibility on the Shopify App Store. https://lnkd.in/ghv_hFgF 3️⃣ Ads: Consider leveraging ads on the Shopify App Store to boost discovery since more installs will help with your organic search ranking. You can also use ad performance insights to refine your organic SEO and keyword strategies. https://lnkd.in/gSUUVKN A big thank you to our Ventures Advisors for sharing their insights in sessions designed for our portfolio companies. These advisors are hand-picked based on their expertise in engineering, product, marketing, sales, and talent. We are excited to distill and share key insights from our upcoming sessions with the broader ecosystem.

We’re excited to announce our investment in Lightdash 's $11M Series A round, led by Accel . It is hard to imagine a better founding team than Hamzah Chaudhary and Oliver Laslett for tackling the complex challenges that every organization faces in building and maintaining data models, and serving them to key stakeholders seamlessly. Lightdash stands out from traditional BI companies by building tooling that can 10x data and business teams. Some product capabilities that excited us include: 1️⃣ Powerful developer workflow featuring developer previews, CI/CD integration, testing, and automatic linting, to help data organizations standardize their development processes. 2️⃣ Deep integration with dbt, paired with a fully extensible platform to support every layer of the data stack from warehouses, orchestration, and external notebooks. 3️⃣ Semantic layer to standardize business logic throughout an organization, providing the ability for non-technical users to access data insights directly and receive curated insights through its AI analyst. This helps to eliminate the need for SQL knowledge or data expertise. Our investment in Lighdash reflects our commitment to open source and empowering fast scaling merchants with the best tools to run their business. We’re excited to support the Lightdash team in their journey to success.

Congratulations to AI Tinkerers on another successful meetup. Last Friday, the Shopify Toronto office welcomed 200 passionate AI/ML builders for demos and discussions on topics like LLM classification accuracy, curation assistants, open-sourced model training, DIY chip fabrication kits, and more. Two key insights shared: 1️⃣ Optimizing LLM intent classification prompts involves experimenting with various classification models and strategies, such as adding prefixes, suffixes, and incorporating None_intent into descriptions. For bigger improvements, focus on crafting better training examples, using few-shot learning, and addressing edge cases to enhance LLM performance. 2️⃣ Training LLMs with custom data can significantly enhance semantic search capabilities. Integrating knowledge graphs into these models deepens content understanding and can lead to more precise results. We’re always happy to support entrepreneurs and builders in AI/ML and appreciate organizers Eric Boyd and Elena Yunusov , along with all demo participants, for advancing the AI community in Canada. 🇨🇦
