Andrew Smith: Three Exits by 33 and What Most Miss About The Food And Beverage Industry

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Andrew Smith, serial entrepreneur, multi-exit founder, and co-founder of Savory Fund, for an unforgettable deep dive into resilience, reinvention, and the sacred power of food.


Andrew opens up about building three successful tech companies before the age of 33, selling to Fortune 100s, and navigating the dot-com bust and 2008 financial crisis. But it was a surprising pivot—supporting his wife Shauna’s dream to open a Kneaders Bakery; that shifted his trajectory and ultimately led to launching a wildly successful F&B Investment firm.


From selling streaming tech in the ’90s to washing dishes in a café post-exit, Andrew shares raw lessons on humility, grit, and what it means to start over. They explore how family, faith, and a relentless drive to solve real problems shaped his entrepreneurial DNA, and why he believes restaurants are uniquely positioned to thrive, even in chaos.


This conversation is a masterclass for founders on navigating ego, building with purpose, and finding meaning in the margins.
