Hi, I'm Drew.

Sold my last company. Building the next one.
Mentoring founders along the way.

— Founder, builder, mentor.

Building useful things, with beautiful tech.

Founded and sold an award-winning language learning company. Now building an AI startup in the property space, mentoring solo entrepreneurs, and speaking about the founder journey.

What I'm Up To

Three things keeping me busy right now - building, leading, and helping other entrepreneurs find their feet.

Building Hatch AI

An AI property concierge for tenant manuals and issues. Less beige and clunky, more modern and stylish.

Mentoring Founders

1:1 support, from idea to traction - and everything tangled in between. The kind of chats that come from having sold something.

Speaking at events

You'll find me on panels and podcasts - talking property, AI, and business. Championing entrepreneurs all the way.

Hatch AI

Hatch AI handles the boring stuff — beautifully. Property tech that actually looks like something you'd want to use.

Your property assistant

The heating isn't working in the living room - any ideas?

Let's check the basics first - what pressure is the boiler showing?

It's sitting at 0.5 bar.

That's too low - here's the 2-minute repressurising guide from your boiler manual. I've told the landlord too 🔧

Solo Entrepreneurs

I work 1:1 with entrepreneurs going from first idea to traction to growth - sharpening sales, operations, systems, and the messy middle.

My Language Lab

A bit about me

Founder energy with a seasoned operator's brain.

I started my career in the City of London - corporate finance, the kind of world with a dress code and a 6am train. Covering UK and European financial markets, investor relations and analysis at Thomson Reuters, Citigate and Eversheds.

Then I went and built things. My Language Lab grew from a one-person operation into an award-winning language learning company serving some of the biggest clients in the world - before being acquired.

Languages, it turns out, were just the first side hustle to become a real thing. Property's been the other one - 20+ years of renovations and projects - and it's why Hatch AI is my next chapter.
