We're building the AI operator we wished we had.

Our mission

PodVector exists to help print-on-demand sellers turn their store into the business they've always wanted — by handing them an AI operator that does the work most founders can't afford to hire for.

Why we built this

PodVector started the way a lot of side projects do: a real store, a spreadsheet that wouldn't stay clean, and a question nobody was answering — am I actually making money?

Hiro had been running his own print-on-demand brand for years and kept hitting the same wall every print-on-demand seller hits. Shopify says one thing. Printify says another. Meta and Google both claim credit for the same sale. By the time you reconcile it all in a spreadsheet, the data is a week stale and the question has changed.

So we built the dashboard we wanted. Real numbers from every platform, reconciled into a single source of truth, so we could finally see what was profitable and what wasn't.

That was the start. But a dashboard tells you what happened. It doesn't do anything about it.

The real lift — the work most solo operators and small teams burn out on — is the next step. Reading the numbers, deciding what to change, and actually making the change in Shopify, in your ad account, in your email tool. That's the part you can't afford to hire someone full-time for, but also can't afford to skip.

That's why we built Victor. Victor is an AI operator that reads your real, reconciled profit data, decides what to do next, and (with your approval) makes the change — in Shopify, in your ads, in your email. Every action is proposed, you approve it, Victor ships it. The dashboard is still there, but it's the side effect, not the product.

We're building the operator we wished we'd had — and giving it to every print-on-demand seller who's tired of spending their evenings in spreadsheets instead of building the business they actually started this for.

The team

PodVector is built by two brothers, working out of Los Angeles.

Hiro Cox — co-founder. Studied computer science at UC Santa Cruz before leaving to take a data science role in New York. While there, he started a print-on-demand brand on the side and grew it to six figures in annual revenue. The pain points he kept running into — messy multi-platform data, unclear unit economics, no time to act on insights — are the reason PodVector exists.

Takato Cox — co-founder and CTO. Computer science at Simon Fraser University. Backend engineer at Cvent, then at a Fortune 50 company, where he built the data and platform systems behind products used by millions. He owns PodVector's engineering: the data pipelines that reconcile your stores, the data warehouse, and the agent infrastructure that lets Victor actually act on what it sees.

Where we're based

We're a small team headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Eventually we'll be a Delaware C-corp. For now we're two brothers shipping fast.
