Hi, I'm Chase. I run Grove, a fellowship for startup founders. I also invest with Very Serious Ventures and serve on the boards of Leaders in Tech and Watsi.

In a past life I cofounded Watsi, the first nonprofit funded by Y Combinator, and Meso, a startup that built open source software for national health systems.

I'm into the outdoors, surfing, snowboarding, daoism, decentralization, and recently, judo. I live in Capitola, CA with my wonderful family and go by @chaseadam17 online.
