Christopher Nelson
Founder at Wealthward Capital
Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Nelson is a founder and former CIO who turned a decade of enterprise IT leadership into a niche expertise: helping tech earners convert equity into predictable, cash-flowing private real estate portfolios. After building and scaling applications teams through multiple IPOs at Splunk, Yext and GitLab, he founded Wealthward Capital and WealthOps to teach and operate a DIY family office model that now manages $223M AUM. He combines hands-on systems thinking—built teams, SOX-compliant processes, and cloud-first application portfolios—with investor-level diligence developed from early startup missteps and three successful exits. Christopher has replaced most of his W-2 income with passive cashflow, run seven full-cycle deals averaging a 19.4% IRR, and educated 1,000+ tech employees on passive investing. Based in Austin, he brings a rare mix of operator experience, PE-style deal discipline, and product-minded execution to wealth architecture and family office operations. Anecdotally, his shift from ladder-climbing CIO to “wealth CEO” was driven as much by designing a life as by optimizing returns.
