Our story: Los Angeles, brands & Shopify websites
Our story actually started in San Francisco in 2011 when founder Daniel James Andrade needed to start an eCommerce store. After doing some research, he found a new startup out of Canada named Shopify. Originally founded by Tobias Lutke, because he wanted to make a snowboard shop and all the available out-of-the-box options were terrible.
Fresh out of UC Berkeley, Daniel was already doing software & consulting and decided to pivot helping some business get going on Shopify while he worked on his own business. After moving to Los Angeles and later exiting the 7 figure luxury leather goods brand he started, Conspire was officially born.
Why Conspire?
Asking why we started Conspire is almost like asking, why Shopify? Having seen the impact Instagram and Shopify had, it was clear that eCommerce was evolving and the whole landscape of online shopping was quickly changing with disruptors taking market share from traditional retailers. In that moment and to this day it was clear that Shopify is the best platform that blends ease of use, powerful functionality via the Shopify app store and advanced customization abilities to meet the needs of big brands.
