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

The Vancouver e-commerce market right now
Vancouver 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.
Vancouver is the third-largest tech hub in Canada and one of the most competitive local SEO markets in the country. Buyers expect modern brands, fast websites, and significant digital social proof before booking a call.
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.
$300K – $5M annual revenue

A Vancouver e-commerce business, 12–18 months into a growth partnership
A Vancouver 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.
Vancouver areas and communities we serve
We partner with e-commerce founders across all of Vancouver — from Downtown, Yaletown, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano, Gastown to Kerrisdale.
Frequently asked questions
What e-commerce platforms do you work with?
We work with Shopify (primary), WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom platforms. Most Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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.
