Coopt is a crowd-sourced marketing automation software offering a suite of ecommerce applications including tools that allow customers to show off the product they just bought to their friends/following on social media in exchange for a small discount, as well as abandoned cart recovery (ACR) technology - ReCoopt.com - that acquires and markets to abandoned cart visitors who are otherwise unable to be captured by any other ACR software.Our primary applications, Coopt, ReCoopt, and Coopt Campaigns builds tremendous value to both the store owner and customer, offering effortless conversion rate increases to merchants and reaching more audiences via high quality social media endorsements from website visitors and customers.I originally built Coopt to solve the problem of diminishing social media shares on my existing eCommerce stores. By turning my customers into advocates of my store, I was able to increase sales from Facebook by over 30% instantly. My team designs our apps to be installed easily, extremely user friendly, and provide ROI metrics to prove the increase in traffic and sales. Coopt and reCoopt are currently one of the fastest growing suite of apps on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and over 40 other eCommerce platforms. Visit getCoopt.com or reCoopt.com for more info.

Crown and Flint was the result of my 10+ year e-commerce journey from product design to manufacturing and supply chain management, B2C distribution/shipping, marketing, as well as my professional background in finance and accounting. C&F turned into a profitable 9-figure business very quickly and was passionately led by my own personal mission to help solve some of the vast inefficiencies of brick+mortar industry and its bulky multi-hub distribution model that drives higher prices to consumers and unnecessary damages the environment.Armed with 1 MacBook and the knowledge learned from my previous ventures, I created an ecom test store that initially sold various fashion accessories. Within the first 3 months with no outside capital, I negotiated multiple 3PF warehouses that sourced, stocked and shipped a variety of consumer products and over 5,000 SKUs. I structured the operations so I never had to see/touch a single product, and sold the products before net90 which allowed me to grow organically and retain 100% of the company through its acquisition. Our unique direct-to-consumer model, based out of our new fulfillment centers in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China, near our manufacturing towns, allowed us to obtain over 85% gross and 40% net profit margins on all sales, and eventually ship to 100+ countries directly without my US based employees ever having to see or manage the product or manage shipping in any way, allowing us to keep low overhead with a small but talented team solely focused on designing or curating new products, and marketing. This was a breakthrough as I had spend several years prior dealing with the not-so-fun intricacies of inventory/logistics/shipping at previous brands.One of our stores in particular, Diadem (now absorbed by new owner), was Shopify's fastest growing online-only brand, and we continued to have steady growth until I decided to sell the business to focus on spending time with my wife and young kids.
