About Chase Hughes
Chase Hughes builds products that create real business results. He founded ProAI, a business-planning platform used by more than 300,000 people. ProAI reached over one million dollars in yearly subscriptions within 18 months and was acquired in 2025.
Before ProAI, he built a tech-enabled advisory and software business that served 3,600+ clients—including Santander, Mercedes-Benz, and Berkshire Hathaway.
