As Founder and owner of Artisanal Talent, Andy is globally recognized for having helped build, and invest in, some of the most successful software startups in history. He has spent 26 years in the industry, built two companies as CEO in the exec search industry, and 2 years inside two of the top VC firms in the world (Redpoint and Index). He has learned the venture business from some of the best in history: Mike Speiser (Snowflake Founding investor), Scott Raney (Twilio, Stripe, Hashi), Mike Volpi (Elastic, Pure), Ravi Viswanathan (Plaid, MuleSoft), Eric Vishria (Confluent, Amplitude, Contentful, Benchling), among others. He worked 2 years at Index, 1 at Redpoint, and has been fortunate to be a Limited Partner of most of the top performing venture firms. Big venture wins include SNOW, DOCU, MULE, AppDynamics, and a handful of current investments that are yielding ~200% IRR from Artisanal Ventures, LLC, the predecessor fund to Artisanal Ventures. His sole purpose is to build and invest in massive successes and serve entrepreneurs in the process.
