Building better startups.
Hi, I'm Andy Brewer.
I have 2 decades of experience as a CTO, Consultant & Recruiter to early-stage web, mobile & AI startups with over 50 IPOs / Exits worth $50B+.
Along the way I launched a first-to-market AI home inspection app, provided expert legal testimony in 12 programming languages, recruited and led over 60 people, developed tech that powers AdSense and built fully remote teams since 2008.
