This page isn't really about Drew Little.
It's about why “just start” works. Drew is an entrepreneur and investor who's spent a career proving that the biggest moves rarely need more information. They need a decision. The credentials below are here for one reason: so you'll believe the idea.
companies founded, operated, and exited (incl. Red Giant)
investments in small and growing businesses
states traveled by RV in a single year
Drew founded, operated, and exited four companies, including Red Giant, and has backed more than twenty others, one acquired by Booking.com. He's been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and Entrepreneur, wrote the foreword to a book on sales, once moved his family across the country in 30 days, and later across the world to Tokyo. Every one of those was a “just start.” The résumé was never the point. Starting was.
None of this is the point of JustStart. It's just the paper trail, proof the idea works before you ever hear it from him.
