Summary
Chase Gassert is a serial founder and full-stack technologist with 13+ years of professional experience and entrepreneurial roots that date back to founding his first company at 14. He builds and operates high-scale web infrastructure, affiliate and lead networks, and payment/crypto products—today leading ventures like GIANT.net, PADE, and the Chase Ideas network from San Juan, Puerto Rico. His background spans LAMP system administration, devops, deliverability and political tech consulting, plus hands-on product development in email/SMS marketing and blockchain payments. Chase has repeatedly turned bootstrapped projects into revenue-generating platforms and operates one of the industry’s long-running private affiliate networks and hosting footprints. An early Bitcoin miner and active speculator since 2011, he blends legacy web expertise with crypto and payments innovation. Not obvious from titles: he built a sprawling content and hosting ecosystem starting as a teen reseller, which still underpins many of his current products and partnerships.
