👋 I'm Andrew. I love fast-growing Startups. Ex-founder, small-time investor, and I write about Growth/PMF/OKRs.  

I've built high-growth companies in London and Silicon Valley. Over the years, I've sat on all sides of the table as a founder, investor, operator, and advisor. Currently, I have an AI and web3 bias, but I have been everywhere. 

During this journey, I created the Growth/OKR process Core & Explore™, which is now used by thousands of Startups and some large companies. 

Previously, I graduated 500 Startups; was an EIR at Seedcamp; led product and growth at my own Startup; mentored and advised VC funds; and helped behind the scenes at the founder community ICE.

Andrew Crump

I’m a founder, operator, and unapologetic generalist with a deep love for building — whether that’s businesses, communities, or operational foundations.

I’m the Co-founder and COO of Validify, an invite-only community for senior leaders in retail and DTC. We bring together decision-makers across digital, tech, and marketing to share challenges, swap insights, and discover the technologies that actually move the needle. Through curated in-person events, tech matchmaking, and a private WhatsApp group, we help shape the future of retail by connecting the right people to the right solutions.

Alongside Validify, I take on a select number of fractional COO and Chief of Staff roles, typically supporting early-stage or scaling companies where operational clarity and momentum are needed. One of those is GDF, a property development business delivering retro-first, holistically low-carbon schemes.

I began my career in digital transformation consulting, helping large retailers and consumer brands reimagine their operating models and technology strategies. From there, I moved into start-ups and scale-ups — leading operations across fintech, retail, energy, and climate ventures. I've helped companies go from 0 to 1, and 1 to 100+. I’ve also advised, mentored, and invested in founders and purpose-driven businesses along the way.

What ties it all together? I’m at my best turning ambition into action!
