If you are looking for a high volume recruiter to submit resumes, I am NOT your guy.” Chase has filled various levels of roles across verticals for high profile startups with a specialization around Seed to Series A companies. In his free time, you can find Chase in Venice Beach bopping around with his little terrier pup.
