ECOMPAD
ECOMPAD "E-Commerce Launchpad" is an e-commerce brand incubator.
We help new founders launch profitable e-commerce brands and help brand owners grow in a decentralized way.
ECOMPAD is a product of VUTURI - PT Vuturi Global Inovasi.
How we started
2016
The journey began with a simple invitation to share.
With a track record as the top internet marketer twice in international markets, Rio was invited by a friend to build a digital marketing community in Indonesia.
The community's aim was simple: share how to earn online.
That invitation became a challenge: could experience on the global stage take root at home?
The answer took shape as PlanetAnjing.com, an e-commerce brand that started with one product and grew into a business with sales beyond 15 billion rupiah.
2018
What began as a place to share slowly found a deeper purpose.
The same questions kept coming from entrepreneurs: how to enter the digital world, and how to stay and grow in it?
We answered by turning the community into a professional service, DigitalEntrepreneur.co.id, and launching the online program "Startup Mastermind", a place for entrepreneurs to build a solid digital foundation.
Startup Mastermind is now called ECOM NAVIGATOR
2020
In March 2020, Indonesia entered large-scale social restrictions to slow COVID-19. Many businesses stopped. Many people lost their footing.
In that uncertainty, Digital Entrepreneur chose to show up and help those affected.
History later recorded a paradox: the same crisis sped up internet adoption and drove significant digital economy growth.
A momentum whose effects we still feel today.
We learned that big change often comes not when things are comfortable, but when we are forced to adapt.
2027
The journey did not stop. It found a sharper form.
ECOMPAD arrived as part of VUTURI, dedicated to two missions.
Help new founders launch profitable e-commerce brands, and support brand owners as they grow in a decentralized way.
A decade of experience now serves one clear aim, because we believe real skill comes from going deep, not just going wide.
Our methodology
We do not believe in instant results.
We believe in the law of causality: cause and effect.
Every brand that works leaves a trail: decisions made, data read, and patterns that repeat.
Our methodology is built from those trails, not from what is popular.
For starters, that means a good brand can be designed from day one. For those already running but stuck, that means every stall has a cause that can be found.
In both cases, our principle is the same: follow results and data.
ECOMPAD exists to make a meaningful contribution by driving independence through e-commerce entrepreneurship. That commitment rests on two core beliefs.
01
Throughout history, the chance to build a business was often set by things outside a person's control: where they were born, the capital they inherited, and the network they had.
The market was a fenced space, and only a few held the key.
E-commerce tore down many of those fences. Distance stopped being a barrier, and market access stopped being a privilege.
Today, someone from a small town can reach customers across many places with only the device in their hand.
For us, the deepest meaning of this shift is not a new sales channel. It is a path to independence.
The freedom for anyone to shape their own livelihood, whatever their background, profession, or age.
02
Open access does not automatically create independence. Millions of people sell online today, but most sell someone else's product.
They pour in time and effort, yet hold no control over price, customers, or the direction of the business.
One algorithm change or platform policy can erase years of work.
This is where we separate selling from entrepreneurship. Selling is an activity. Entrepreneurship is ownership.
An entrepreneur owns their brand, builds a direct relationship with customers, and creates an asset whose value keeps growing, and can even be passed on.
The world does not lack sellers. What is rare is brand owners.
E-commerce has opened the door, but the knowledge and guidance to build something truly your own are not evenly spread. That gap is what we aim to bridge.
We guide aspiring entrepreneurs as they build a brand from zero, and we support those already running as they take their brand to the next stage.
Through structured programs, direct guidance, and strategy drawn from real case studies.
For us, true independence is not just the ability to sell. It is ownership of what you have built.
