Jumping into the Deep End: My Startup Story and What’s Next

Hey there! I'm Drew Amato, and welcome to my little corner of the internet, the Startup Academy. This is where I'll be chatting about my learnings on a journey from a comfy job in corporate venture capital to the rollercoaster world of startups.

So, a bit about me: I spent ten good years in the corporate world, but my heart was always leaning towards something more.. adventurous. That's when my side project, Mullybox.com, started to look more and more like my main gig. Fast forward a bit, and here I am, having taken the plunge to go all-in on this startup dream.

But hey, this blog isn't just me talking about myself. It's about sharing a blueprint – a systematic approach to building a startup from the ground up. We’re talking operations, hiring, marketing, financing, raising funds – you name it. Whether you’re scribbling ideas on a napkin or already knee-deep in your venture, there’s something here for you.

Now, the big 'why' behind all this. I genuinely believe startups are more than money-making machines; they’re problem-solving powerhouses. By sharing my journey and learnings, I hope to inspire more people to take on the world's biggest challenges. Because when we solve problems innovatively, we're not just building businesses; we're advancing humanity and making the world a little bit better, one startup at a time.

So, whether you're here to pick up some tips, share your thoughts, or just see how my journey unfolds, I'm glad you're along for the ride. Let’s roll up our sleeves and make some waves!
