How This MIT Grad Launched an 8-Figure Shopify Brand – with Aman Advani - The Shopify Growth Show (#8)

Most founders talk about comfort. Aman engineered it. His Shopify brand took a pain point, added performance tech, and scaled to 8-figures.

Aman Advani didn’t plan on launching a DTC fashion brand. But after hating his own suits while working in consulting, he co-founded Ministry of Supply - a menswear company built around comfort, performance, and design. In this episode, he breaks down how they launched with a viral Kickstarter, found product-market fit fast, and scaled through relentless product iteration.

If you’re trying to build a differentiated Shopify brand, this episode is packed with tactical gold.

Key Topics Covered:

• Launching on Kickstarter: strategy, messaging, and momentum
• Engineering product-market fit from real pain points
• Why Ministry of Supply doubled down on performance materials
• Growing a fashion brand with DTC + retail
• CEO-level shifts: what Aman had to learn (and unlearn)
