Chase Winovich is a former NFL defensive end turned entrepreneur and tech founder. After being voted hardest worker at the University of Michigan and leading the New England Patriots in sacks, he built a career defined by relentless preparation and an obsession with winning.
In 2023, he left football to pursue something bigger.
Chase is now the CEO and Founder of Signet, a technology company building infrastructure for the future of brand and creator partnerships. Rather than simply connecting brands with influencers, its flagship product makes everyone on social media an influencer, turning authentic word of mouth into a measurable, scalable growth channel.
Studying and playing under Coach Bill Belichick sharpened how he thinks about standards, systems, and building winning teams. Founding and selling his first company, House 17, gave him an early taste of what was possible as an entrepreneur.
Today, Chase is all in on Signet and betting that the creator economy’s biggest chapter hasn’t been written yet.
