Nuggets:

• There’s no need to partner with a developer if you haven’t already built a relationship.
• Agencies encounter great app ideas all the time but don’t have the bandwidth to pursue them.
• Hire the most expensive resource you can afford.
• Shopify is rapidly expanding their API access; now is a great time to build an app there.

Action Steps:

1. Search Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, etc… for pain points from Shopify store owners
2. Speak to Shopify agency owners to collect more pain points
3. Wireframe a solution
4. Follow Shopify’s free app development to learn to build your solution
5. (If you’re non-technical,) find a cofounder that “you would marry” and pay as much as you can afford
