Joël Cyr
I help founders simplify and scale e-commerce brands—using real operator experience.
I’ve built, sold, and acquired a product business. Now I work with owner-operators to improve focus, margins, and execution—so growth feels calmer and more profitable.
You’ll benefit from working with me if:
You’ve built a real business, but it feels heavier or more complex than it should
Growth has created more noise than clarity
You’re deeply involved in the business and becoming the bottleneck
You want better focus, margins, and execution—not generic advice
You value calm, structured progress over hustle and hype
Experience across Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, and Amazon Seller Central (CA & US)
how i help founders
We strip away low-value complexity and refocus the business on what drives meaningful progress.
Get clear on what actually matters
We diagnose the real constraints—strategy, focus, margins, structure, or decision-making—without noise or assumptions.
Simplify the business around leverage
I can stay involved as an advisor or disengage once clarity is restored. The goal is independence, not dependency.
Build a practical plan you can execute
Clear priorities, realistic timelines, and decisions that fit your capacity—not theoretical frameworks.
Support implementation (or step back)
My role flexes between strategic advisor and hands-on operator support, depending on what’s most useful.
why founders work with me
I’ve spent over 15 years building and operating product-based businesses, including growing and running an e-commerce brand from the ground up. After selling the business, I later bought it back with the intention of approaching it with fresh energy and building it bigger and better than ever. That experience shapes how I work with founders today. My approach is grounded in real constraints, informed by both growth and recovery, and focused on creating businesses that are valuable and sustainable.
I work best with owner-operators who value clarity, calm execution, and better decision-making over noise or hype.
