Startup Exits Podcast with Andrew Wynn, founder of Sheltr
The M&A by Hippo: how Andrew started, ran and sold Sheltr

Andrew Wynn
Founder of Sheltr
After moving to Silicon Valley, Andrew experienced the costly and painful process of fixing things around his condo. But why fix, when you can prevent? So he founded Sheltr, a "physical for your home" preventative maintenance startup that grew to become a leader in major US cities and was acquired by Hippo Insurance – all in less than a year.
We chat with Andrew about
- Going from a personal pain point to validating the market need
- Educating your customers
- B2B and B2C strategies
- Support from being an early employee at Instacart
- The future of home maintenance
