With this guy, I can't get my mind past the feeling that he's trying to sell me a DODOcase, a Shopify account, and a get-rich-quick scheme in one post. Are we to believe that he, of all people, isn't being compensated by DODOcase or Shopify? I mean, it's a cute story by its own merit, but unless they're paying for it, he just did them a huge favor.
- chriskelley 16y agoI believe he's an advisor for Shopify: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/shopify http://www.crunchbase.com/company/shopify I didn't catch a disclosure in the post, but I may have missed it.

- DLWormwood 16y agoWhat? Isn’t $100,000 in prize money a big enough favor to begin with? This post just discusses the winners of a contest he posted about before as a post-mortem. If you were in the contest because of reading about in his blog, would you rather not find out who won and how they did it?
- xal 16y agoTim is on the Shopify board of advisors. He gets no other compensation beyond the shares that advisors get. The whole contest also was Tim's idea. It promotes exactly the kind of thing that he is all about: build an awesome business and have fun doing so.
