In this episode, we dive into:

✔️How medicine, entrepreneurship, and hospitality intersect
✔️The story behind launching Encore
✔️Building brands around experience and human connection
✔️An why Cleveland is the perfect stage for new ideas

Because the best brands don’t just launch: they usher in the next act.

Bridging Cleveland's industrial heritage to its industrial future --

Andrew’s story is one of return, reinvestment, and a deep commitment to driving Northeast Ohio's next wave of growth.

As soon as I met Andrew, I knew one day he’d come on Lay of The Land Podcast when the time was right, and it’s exciting that time has come.

As someone who believes deeply in the opportunity for Cleveland’s future, I find Andrew’s journey to be an inspiring and optimistic one… …deeply rooted in the heart of Cleveland’s west side where he grew up before embarking on a decade-long adventure in the Bay Area—a place where innovation and venture capital converged to create world-changing technologies. Andrew has spent his career at the intersection of talent and venture capital — from Google to Addepar to Redpoint Ventures — ultimately carving out a unique path that led him to co-found and successfully exit a startup to Human Capital in one of the most competitive ecosystems in the world. But despite his success on the West Coast, #Cleveland was always home.

In a full-circle moment, Andrew returned to his hometown in 2022, bringing a wealth of experience and a vision to bridge the gap between Cleveland’s rich industrial heritage and its promising industrial future. Today, he’s leading the charge as the founder of @encoreventurelabs , a venture studio dedicated to revitalizing the region's legacy by harnessing current macro trends with the region's unique attributes.
