このコンテンツについて
In this episode of Founder to Founder, we sit down with Andy McNulty—ex-CEO of Victoria Beckham and co-founder of Touch Stay, the digital guidebook platform used by thousands of hospitality businesses worldwide.
Andy’s journey into tech entrepreneurship is anything but traditional. From CFO roles at Gucci and Alexander McQueen to launching a SaaS startup with no technical background, he shares how intuition, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose helped him build, scale, and eventually sell Touch Stay.
We explore:
- How a binder full of flies sparked a SaaS business
- Why Virgin StartUp’s accelerator was a game-changer
- The moment COVID accelerated growth instead of ending it
- What it’s really like selling your ‘business baby’
- Why mentorship, gut instinct and “play money” matter more than perfection
- Life after exit—and why he’s not done with tech just yet
Andy also reflects on grief, identity, health scares, and the emotional cost of letting go. This is a raw, insightful look at building something meaningful—and knowing when to walk away.
If you’re a founder juggling the high-stakes world of SaaS, or wondering what it takes to go from startup to sale—this episode is full of gold.
