I’m Tom Brown. I build eCommerce brands – and help founders do the same.

Over the last decade, I’ve bootstrapped three Shopify brands to 7‑figures – while helping other founders scale to 8‑figures.

I’ve spent millions on ads, tested every tactic under the sun, and learned what actually works (and what’s a giant waste of time and money).

Now, I share what I’ve learned through practical courses, a weekly newsletter, and 1:1 consulting – so founders can build lean, profitable businesses they’re proud of.

My Backstory

I started in eCommerce the messy way – figuring it out as I went. No investors, no fancy agencies – just a lot of trial, error, and a ton of mistakes.

From 2014 to now, I built and scaled three 7‑figure brands while advising and partnering with companies like James May’s James Gin and Sloane Stephens’ Doc & Glo.

In 2019, sitting in a hospital waiting room, I made the decision to shift from running my brands full‑time to helping other founders grow theirs, while building this site as a resource for others.

What I Do Now:

• Tom’s Growth Dispatch – my free weekly email packed with actionable tips.
• Courses – like Ecom OS, Ads OS, and Zero to One for practical growth playbooks.
• Consulting – fractional growth work for DTC brands ready to scale.

My Philosophy:

Most “growth advice” online is either overly complicated or full of fluff. I believe in:

• Lean over bloated

• Profit over vanity metrics

• Execution over endless strategy

Building a business should give you freedom, profit, and a life you actually enjoy – not just another stressful job.
