3X BOOTSTRAPPED TO EXIT, 1X VC RAISE, LOTS OF FAILURES
I have sold 3 business, run 2, and invest a bit. My main passion is now to share my mistakes and learnings with others to help them achieve their goals quicker (& less painfully than I have).
HI, I'MÂ ANDREW
Ever wondered what it's like to build a business, sell it, and then do it all over again? Well, I've done it 3 times. And failed a bunch too.
I have founded and scaled businesses in tech, SAAS, manufacturing and agency worlds via both bootstrap and VC backed routes and I have the battle scars to prove it.
MY STORY
I’ve always loved creating and learning.
As a teenager, I sold my professional photography at market stalls across the UK. After university, I became a frontend developer, learning to code and build websites that converted. I quickly moved into management, helping that agency scale.
Â
That was the start of my business journey. Since then, I’ve:
Â
- Â Founded, scaled and exited 3 bootstrapped businesses in tech, SaaS, and agency sectors.
- Co-founded and VC-raised a large manufacturing business to scale rapidly.
Â
I thrive in the 0-1 stage of business:
- Finding product-market fit.
- Navigating the late nights and “are we getting this right?” moments.
- Building a culture and team that believe in the vision and drive it to its full potential.
Â
This stage is where the magic happens.
WHAT CAN YOU GAIN FROM ME?
Simply, Learn from my mistakes.
Starting and growing a business can feel like assembling IKEA furniture—blindfolded, on a rollercoaster, in space.
I’ve been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. Now, I’m here to be your cheat code.

THE NON-BUSINESS STUFF
When I'm not nerding out on business strategies, you'll find me:
- Chasing after my twins (or are they chasing me? 🤔)
- Enjoying Adventure races or triathlons (because running a business isn't painful enough)
- Shredding slopes or exploring the great outdoors.
