Where do you want to begin?

Two ways in. Not sure what the highest-leverage move is? That's what the call is for. Already know? Go straight to it.

01Not sure yet

I don’t know what I need yet.

That’s the normal starting point. 10–15 minutes with Dylan — no deck, no pitch — and you’ll leave knowing the highest-leverage next move, whether or not we work together.

About Me

The person behind the work.

Dylan Pearson, founder of Pondir

Dylan Pearson

Founder, Pondir

Dylan Pearson — known online as Dylan Pondir — is the founder of Pondir. He started out as a software developer at E*Trade before leaving to pursue entrepreneurship — first in performance marketing, then building and selling a company of his own, then scaling brands for clients.

Along the way he’s grown a content following past 200,000, teaching founders and operators how advertising and e-commerce actually work, not the version that sounds good in a deck. His approach is goals-first, strategy-second: settle what the work is for before deciding how to do it. Pondir is where the engineering rigor, the marketing, and the building all come together — thought through, not thrown together.

Case Study · Upstart Epoxy

First, he ran it on his own money.

Upstart Epoxy — cofounded by Dylan, launched March 2020. 25,000 customers in year one, sold to a private-equity-backed manufacturer eighteen months after launch.

Before Pondir ran this playbook for clients, its founder ran it on his own money. The offer was engineered from competitors’ one-star reviews — no yellowing, no bubbles, no VOCs, made in the USA — then priced at $94.99 against a $69.99 category on purpose. The margin paid for the growth.

The first ad was a 60-second video of a real hobbyist doing a real project in his garage. It returned roughly $1,000 in sales for every $100 spent — profitable from day one — and carried acquisition for months.

Behind it: landing pages and bundles built to answer every objection before it was asked ($200+ bundles converted at the same rate as the single product), Facebook and Google ads scaled on premium margin, email flows and bundled courses that turned one project into the next reorder, and a content engine producing 100+ original pieces a month — much of it made by customers themselves.

Eighteen months after launch, a private-equity-backed manufacturer bought the company at 5× EBITDA. It still runs today.

Landing pages. Paid social and search. Email. Content. Every lever in this story is a service Pondir runs end to end — by the person who used them on his own company first.
