   Darren & Phillip - Brian Nolan

   Today on Startup to Storefront, we’re sitting down with Brian Nolan, a lifelong entrepreneur and the co-owner of Darren & Phillip (https://darrenandphillip.com/), a purpose-driven pet brand known for its premium matching apparel for dogs and their humans. Before launching Darren & Phillip in the U.S., Brian co-founded and led multiple successful ventures, including BookOutdoors, acquired by Hipcamp, and Sellbrite, acquired by GoDaddy. He holds a business degree from USC’s Marshall School of Business and is also a proud member of the Academy of Magical Arts at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Darren & Phillip began in Australia in 2016 and in 2024 Brian and his wife Cris brought the brand to the U.S. Now based in Denver, Colorado, Darren & Phillip continues its mission to bring comfort to dogs and joy to the people who love them. Every purchase helps rescue dogs get adopted into safe, loving homes through donations to non-profit rescue organizations around the world. Brian’s story is one of building businesses with both purpose and passion, and today we’ll dive into how he’s turning matching pajamas into a global movement.
