Burnaby, British Columbia

Growth Partnership · E-Commerce

You've proven the product. Now you need the engine that scales it.

From bootstrapped online store to high-margin, multi-channel brand — with a team that executes, not just advises.

A full-stack growth partnership for BC e-commerce brands ready to scale past the plateau.

This is not a consulting engagement

We embed our team in your Burnaby e-commerce business and execute — performance-aligned.

Most Burnaby e-commerce founders reach $300K–$2M in revenue and hit a wall. The tactics that got them there — founder-led Instagram, word of mouth, one killer product — stop compounding. CAC climbs. Repeat purchase rates stagnate. Meta ads plateau. The founders who break through this ceiling are the ones who bring in a team that can build the full engine: paid acquisition, email/SMS retention, CRO, logistics optimisation, and multi-channel distribution. That's what we do — embedded, performance-aligned, from inside your business.

Is your Burnaby e-commerce business ready?

We partner selectively with businesses that have genuine growth potential. Here are the signals we look for:

Revenue between $300K and $5M with healthy margins but slowing growth rate
Proven product-market fit with strong customer satisfaction and repeat buyers
Relying primarily on one acquisition channel (often Meta Ads or organic) — fragile
Email list and customer base that isn't being properly monetised
No meaningful Amazon, wholesale, or retail channel diversification
Founder still handling most marketing decisions personally — no team or process

What's holding most Burnaby e-commerce businesses back

These are the patterns we see repeatedly in businesses that have the potential but not yet the systems:

CAC has increased 40–80% over the past 12–18 months with no LTV to match
Email/SMS retention generating less than 20% of revenue (industry benchmark is 30–40%)
No systematic CRO — checkout conversion below 2.5%, bundles and upsells absent
Inventory planning is reactive — either overstocked on slow movers or out-of-stock on winners
No brand story or content strategy — just product-push creative that fatigues audiences
No B2B or wholesale channel despite obvious demand from retailers or distributors

The Burnaby e-commerce market right now

Burnaby is home to a growing cluster of DTC and e-commerce founders who built brands during the pandemic era and are now navigating the post-iOS-14, post-easy-growth reality. The brands that win the next phase are those that build retention-first, diversify channels, and invest in team — not those chasing the next silver-bullet ad platform.

Burnaby hosts SFU, BCIT and major corporate headquarters including Electronic Arts and TELUS. The market combines mid-market tech buyers with neighborhood-anchored retail and services.

Who we partner with

E-commerce brand doing $300K–$5M annually with solid product-market fit, healthy margins, and a founder ready to invest in a full growth team rather than freelancers and point solutions.

Typical business size

$300K – $5M annual revenue

What transformation looks like

A Burnaby e-commerce business, 12–18 months into a growth partnership

A Burnaby DTC brand selling premium wellness products reached $1.2M in year two, almost entirely on organic Instagram. Meta Ads were profitable but not scaling. Email was untouched. Amazon was unexplored. Twelve months into a growth partnership: email now drives 35% of revenue, a restructured Meta funnel cut CAC by 40%, Amazon launched and contributing $300K in new ARR, and the founder has moved out of daily execution into product and brand. Revenue at $2.8M and climbing.

60–90 days to first major performance improvement; 12 months to full multi-channel engine

Frequently asked questions

What e-commerce platforms do you work with?

We work with Shopify (primary), WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom platforms. Most Burnaby e-commerce brands we partner with are on Shopify — our team has deep expertise in Shopify Plus optimisation, app stack auditing, and theme-level CRO.

How do you handle the revenue share model?

We establish a baseline from your trailing 6–12 months of revenue, set a growth target, and take a percentage of all revenue above the baseline. This keeps our incentives completely aligned with your growth. If revenue doesn't grow, we don't get paid beyond a minimal retainer covering direct costs.

Can you help with international expansion?

Yes. Several Burnaby e-commerce brands we've worked with have expanded to the US and Australian markets. We handle localised ad creative, currency/shipping configuration, US warehousing strategy, and market-specific SEO. International launch typically adds 20–40% of additional revenue within 6–12 months.
