Chris Hlad

I'm Chris, co-founder and CEO of Hanover Park, an AI-native fund administrator for venture, private equity, and private credit firms. As a college junior at Yale, I realized five people in a room could build a billion-dollar company. After about 50 hours learning Python, I decided I was better at distribution than engineering, so I started writing online while working at Goldman Sachs. That writing helped me land at Meow, where I went from go-to-market lead to Chief Revenue Officer, before starting Hanover Park in 2024. Ask me about why I picked distribution over engineering.
