Road to CTO #1: From economist to coder: why Charles Chase never went back to corporate

  • Resumen

  • In this episode of Road to CTO, we sit down with Charles Chase, a serial entrepreneur and investor, who shares his journey from aspiring accountant to building multiple successful companies, including Velocify. Charles reveals how a pivotal moment in the late 90s sparked his passion for programming, leading him to abandon his original career path and dive into tech.

    Despite mastering coding, Charles chose not to follow the traditional route into CTO roles. Instead, he embraced operational leadership, seeing company-building as a form of engineering. He believes creating systems, processes, and teams requires the same careful design as good software.

    Now based in Barcelona, Charles shares his unique perspective on entrepreneurship, emphasizing the psychological qualities needed to succeed. His investment philosophy focuses on the person behind the product, prioritizing vision and problem-solving over the product itself.
