About Drew Leahy

I am a data-driven, product focused entrepreneur, investor operator, and growth executive based in Ann Arbor, MI.As an operator, I thrive where marketing, product, and sales meet to produce growth. Driven and motivated by the thousands of softwares that power brands and enterprises, I have extensive experience in consumer mobile & web, b2b sales and marketing, and go-to-market strategies for growing organizations at scale.In 2007, I founded my first technology company called Mybandstock. This forever changed my life and perspective on leading product teams, marketing strategy, and business development. We ran for over 3 years, raised 120k from angel investors, signed platinum artist clients and managers, and landed in Silicon Beach (Los Angeles). In 2014, I cofounded and ran SnapSuits.com with my brother Ryan Leahy, raised a seed round, and operated to over $2M in revenue with an 800% return on advertising.In 2017, I built Hawke Ventures to $30M USD AUM and we ran an incredible strategic venture firm.In 2021, I met a woman who grew up in New Zealand and then Ann Arbor. We met in Los Angeles where our love blossomed and I asked her to marry me. We moved to New Zealand in 2023 for a year before coming back to the USA.My mantra: Vision (big), Execution (small), Test (thorough), Revise (smart). Repeat. I obsess over conversion rate optimization - part art, part science.Specialties: Entrepreneurship, Startup Strategy, VC Operations, Sales and Marketing Strategy, SaaS Product Vision, Roadmapping, and Management, Digital Marketing, Brand Integration, Social Media Strategy, Digital Monetization, Project Management, Artist Management, Web/Mobile Development, Entertainment/Music Industry, Family Office & Angel Investing
