Chad Hutchins is an entrepreneurial software leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling web products, currently serving as Director of Grants for Whitehouse ISD Education Foundation while co-founding and guiding technical strategy at Glances and Fanatical Labs. He has a consistent track record of founding and exiting startups—most notably SugarOutfitters (acquired by SugarCRM) and Big Techonions/Sheepdog (acquired by Flowtown)—and balances hands-on engineering with executive-level product and business development. A longtime mentor and former adjunct professor, he helps students and teams turn ideas into launched businesses and teaches practical web application design. Based in Tyler, Texas, Chad blends technical depth from a Computer Science degree with entrepreneurial grit, often focusing on pragmatic, high-quality software delivered by small, focused teams. An unspoken strength is his ability to move between roles—developer, CTO, educator, and grant director—which gives him a rare perspective on technology’s role in community and organizational growth.
