About Andy Mills
The one public angel investment we could confirm for Andy Mills is Authors First. Press coverage of the October 2026 launch lists him among the entrepreneurs and angel investors who joined the seed round.
Our searches found no public statements from him about his investing approach, check size or typical stage. Several people named Andy Mills turned up in the results. The Authors First coverage does not say which one this is, so we have not attached any employment history to this profile.
Authors First came out of stealth on October 6, 2026. It is a New York company building a book-to-screen studio and distribution platform. It uses AI generation tools to adapt books for screen, and authors keep final-cut approval.
The seed round was over $10 million. It was led by Brand Foundry and founder and CEO Robert Hamwee. Other participants named were Bolt Ventures (the family office of David Blitzer), Andy Mills, Mike Duggal and John Kline. Reporting says the valuation and individual checks were not disclosed, so Mills's check size is not public.
The company's first project is "Genghis: Birth of an Empire", made with author Conn Iggulden.
The only confirmed data point is a seed-stage investment in an AI-enabled media and entertainment company. We found no public statement of his stage or sector preferences, geographic focus or check size, so we have not listed any.
