Hamish worked at a large e-commerce company that faced the issue of 30% of their customers requesting order edits. For some reason, platforms like Shopify don’t allow customers to edit their orders after purchase, so Hamish built an app to solve this problem. Today, it's generating hundreds of thousands in annual revenue, and he plans to sell it for $20M in the next few years.
