Chad Macauley

As the CEO and Founder of Chad Love Media AI, I lead an innovative tech startup focused on transforming the multi-media industry. Our platform seamlessly integrates music, motivational content, online community engagement, and film, delivering pioneering solutions such as an AI-driven therapy tool, physical health analytics, and an interactive online space for Generation Z.

Our value proposition lies in providing accessible mental health support and personal development resources, empowering young people to share their aspirations and connect with mentors. By fostering a supportive community and offering engaging content, we aim to make a meaningful impact on youth well-being.

Raising £2,000,000 in initial seed funding has been a pivotal experience in my career. It has sharpened my skills in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and resource management. This journey has equipped me with the resilience and adaptability necessary for my role in enterprise tech sales, where understanding client needs and delivering tailored solutions is crucial.

Balancing the responsibilities of leading a startup while navigating the complexities of funding has prepared me to excel in my 9am-5pm role, driving success through innovation and strategic partnerships.
