The growth of e-commerce has been a two-way street. On the one hand, you have an increase in consumer demand. But on the other hand, the pandemic gave many would-be entrepreneurs an opportunity to turn something that was previously a side hustle, or just an idea, into a full-fledged business.
In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, a record number of new businesses - over 4.4 million were created in the United States in 2020 alone. And chances are, many of them have been using Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) to help their business grow.
Spotify cloud-based platform is growing in popularity and that’s reflected in the company’s financials.
