today skio is joining
Recharge.
but we're not going anywhere.
we're building the subscription platform that all brands deserve, together.
when andrew and i agreed to take over ~2 years ago, skio was in a very different place. so we made big changes + placed unsexy bets (that paid off).
we spent every dollar on product and support. no marketing team, no ads, no big sales org. we hopped on every merchant call, attacked every issue immediately, and used every "fuck skio" as an opportunity to improve.
we listened better than anyone in the market, shipping small fixes daily that helped merchants grow vs big quarterly updates.
merchants noticed. so did the team that built this category: recharge.
on another timeline, i think we’d still be duking it out.
but features started to matter less. data started to matter more. and nobody has more of it than recharge.
so when the opportunity to chat with
Oisin popped up, i walked in having no idea what to expect. even my best-case scenario would have been way off. i was blown away by the similarities in how we think, our approach to the space, and most importantly, how naturally we both galvanized around building for merchant outcomes.
we spent our time together focused on one central question:
could we serve merchants better together?
yes (obviously).
between us we support the largest + fastest growing + most innovative subscription brands on the planet.
instead of wasting time chasing each other, we’re going to build something better, something that’ll drive subscriber acquisition, growth, and retention for the next decade. Something generational.
to our merchants: you have my commitment that we'll keep (and hopefully improve on) that obsession that got you to choose us in the first place. but this is a 2-way relationship. hold us accountable. if you feel like we're slipping, dm me. obsession's the ingredient that matters most in keeping the skio magic alive.
to our team: i can't possibly put into words how much gratitude, respect, and appreciation i have for you all. you've shown up every day, given more than 100%, and set a new standard for how to build + service saas in the shopify space. we're just one chapter into what's going to be a hell of a story.
and to the folks at recharge: let's get to work.
