Zigpoll

Zero-party data surveys for Shopify stores
👤 Jason Zigelbaum (He built Metafields Manager, a Shopify app Shopify itself absorbed, so he knew app-store distribution before Zigpoll began.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

A solo founder narrowed to one job: asking Shopify shoppers why they bought or bailed, and grew it to $125K MRR.

Will it work? · our read
Insider edge. Zigelbaum already had a Shopify app absorbed by Shopify, so he knew app-store distribution and pointed the whole product at one e-commerce segment he understood.
