For serial entrepreneurs Jeremy Michael and Kim Dang, launching The eCom Capitalist was a journey characterized by persistence, calculated risks, and eventual triumph. After a combined 15 years in online retail, digital marketing, and business operations, they transformed their experience into an impactful tool, supporting their mission to inspire other entrepreneurs along the way. Now, their dream has become a successful reality as they empower aspiring entrepreneurs to gain financial independence by streamlining and simplifying the often-complex world of e-commerce automation.
Jeremy Michael and Kim Dang took their own unique paths, but their individual journeys equipped them to transform the world of online business. The following explores what The eCom Capitalist is, the people behind it, and how they are changing the landscape of e-commerce.
From Car Parts to Digital Coaching
Kim’s entrepreneurial spirit took root long before she entered the digital coaching world. In the early 2000s, she built a successful business reselling car parts online, leveraging platforms like Amazon and eBay to reach customers worldwide.
“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit even from a young age,” Kim said. “The car parts business was my first real taste of e-commerce and it taught me invaluable lessons about sourcing products, building an online presence, and delivering a great customer experience.”
She shifted her focus to digital coaching after several years of steady growth in the automotive niche. She had found a passion for helping professionals monetize their expertise, which earned her over $5 million teaching others to turn small online communities into profit-generating businesses. Her journey led her to meet Jeremy Michael, and together they established a successful collaboration.
From Consultant to Co-Founder
Jeremy’s e-commerce automation expertise came from hands-on experience. Before co-founding The eCom Capitalist, Jeremy had already achieved impressive milestones, generating over $30 million online and successfully selling 296 stores for $12 million.
In 2019, he joined an e-commerce automation company as a consultant. “When I got there, they were doing a few million in sales, but they had a major problem with their fulfillment,” Jeremy explained. “Stores were being sold but not actually built, and customers were getting frustrated. I knew I had to step in and fix the situation.”
Jeremy stepped in, restructuring the fulfillment process and training an internal team. 30 days later, sales went from $3 million to $5 million. “That’s when I realized the true power of this model,” Jeremy said. “If done right e-commerce automation can be a game changer for entrepreneurs and investors looking to build a sustainable online business.”
As a consultant, Jeremy saw the importance of trust and reliable fulfillment in e-commerce. This experience inspired him to build a new company focused on transparency, quality, and long-term client relationships.
The Birth of The eCom Capitalist
Recognizing their complementary skills and shared vision, Jeremy and Kim founded The eCom Capitalist. Their mission was simple: remove the complexity from e-commerce and give aspiring entrepreneurs the solutions to achieve financial freedom.
“When Kim approached me about partnering up, I was immediately on board,” Jeremy recalled. “We had complementary skills and a shared vision of empowering others to achieve financial freedom through e-commerce.”
The eCom Capitalist handles everything related to setting up successful online stores. Services include a complete Shopify store build-out, product research and curation, dynamic product funnel systems, in-house fulfillment, and performance optimization. However, their offerings go beyond technical support. Jeremy and Kim want to form long-term partnerships with their clients.
“It’s not just about building a store and handing it off,” Jeremy explained. “We’re invested in our clients success which is why we handle everything from A to Z. We want to be a true growth partner helping them build and scale profitable e-commerce businesses.”
The timing couldn’t be better for their approach. According to recent market research, the global e-commerce market is projected to reach $27.15 trillion by 2027, growing at 14.7% annually from 2020.
“With e-commerce adoption growing 7.6% per year the need for scalable solutions like The eCom Capitalist has never been higher,” Kim said. “Consumers are increasingly shifting their buying habits online, and businesses of all sizes are scrambling to keep up. That’s where we come in – we provide the tools, the strategy and the hands on support to help our clients thrive in this new landscape.”
For Jeremy and Kim, The eCom Capitalist is the culmination of years of hard work and a deep passion for helping others. As they scale their own businesses they remain committed to transparency and quality so they can have long-term success.
“At the end of the day, we’re not just building stores — we’re building legacies,” said Jeremy. “Our clients aren’t just our customers; they’re our partners. And we’re in this together for the long haul.”
Their approach resonates with aspiring business owners who face barriers to entry due to a lack of technical expertise or operational challenges. With the growth of e-commerce obvious, Jeremy and Kim are confident their approach will continue to deliver results.
