About us
DTC Builders NYC is a curated community for serious operators in the Shopify and DTC ecosystem. (Also on Luma - hhttps://luma.com/dtcbuildersnyc)
We exist to create a high-signal room in New York for people actually in the trenches.
What to expect:
• Curated events — less panels, more run clubs, golf days, and elevated happy hours
• Tactical conversations and shared learnings (no fluff)
• Meaningful connections that lead to partnerships, hiring, and growth
• A network of operators who value quality over noise
This is not a mass networking group. We review every member to maintain the standard.
No spam. No cold pitching in DMs. Respect the room.

Profitable by Design: The Financial Fundamentals of DTC
Shopify NY, 131 Greene Street, New York, NY, USYou've got the product. You've got the site. Now - do you know your numbers?
DTC Builders NYC is back with our next session - and this one is for the builders who are ready to stop guessing and start running their business with financial clarity.
You've done the hard part. You found a product people want, got your site live, and created UGC content that actually converts. Now it's time to build the business behind it.
We're bringing together three operators who've lived this:
- Ronak Shah – Co-founder of Obvi, one of the fastest-scaling DTC supplement brands in the game
- Nate Littlewood – Fractional CFO who's helped dozens of ecommerce brands get their numbers under control
- Nicolette Schepis – from Best Practice Media, bringing the agency lens on what profitable growth actually looks like
In this session, we're going deep on the fundamentals that separate brands that grow profitably from those that scale themselves into the ground. We'll cover:
- How to think about margin - and what good actually looks like
- The profit numbers you should be tracking (and how to calculate them - simply)
- How to decide when to push the gas on marketing spend, and when to pull back
- What 'healthy' ecommerce metrics look like at different stages of growth
- Live examples: brands getting it right - and honest lessons from those who got it wrong
This isn't theory. We're bringing real operators, real P&Ls (sanitised!), and real talk about what it takes to build a DTC brand that actually makes money.
You'll leave knowing exactly how to calculate your marketing budget, what your profit margins should look like, and how to read your numbers like a founder - not a finance degree.
