Chad Halsted
Technology leader, real estate investor, and community builder.
London · Dallas · Seattle
I build and back ventures at the intersection of technology, human needs, and community. Twenty-five years in product, a lifelong real estate investor, and an active servant in my Eastside community.
What I stand for
Technology & Innovation
A 25-year product career building for Amazon, Merck, Liberty Mutual/Safeco, REI, Gaze, and SAVI — now founding Makertank, an AI studio for small and midsize businesses.
Service to Community
Bellevue Human Services Commission, Board Chair of ECS, and an active member of Eastridge Church. Giving time and leadership where it's needed locally.
Human Needs
Through White Rock, creating secure real estate investments and transition housing and services that put people first.
Wellness
A whole-person practice: faith (Eastridge Church), body (training at Verde), mind (reading and podcasts), and nutrition (local, organic, regenerative farming and water).
