Ed Chao - VP of Operations at Cerebro Sports - Episode 714

Ed Chao is the VP of Operations at Cerebro Sports where they have the vastest collection of basketball box scores in the world, especially in the youth space. Cerebro organizes these box scores into basketball tools for basketball people while partnering with event operators around the country as well as vendors who stream youth basketball or do video breakdowns. Ed earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Rice University in Houston and went on to earn a Masters in Public Health from Emory University, focusing on epidemiology. In 2010, Ed launched his first startup, MyVaxines, a web-based tool that provided information and services to assist families in forecasting and managing their immunization records. After moving back to Houston in 2014, Ed launched Houston Escape Room, the first escape room concept brought to Texas and that currently has two Houston locations. Ed, a self-proclaimed basketball junkie and long-time pickup game player, started Hoop Club Dallas, a digital solution to organizing pickup basketball games which he later sold. The program’s $10 games provided a “no drama” way to play and attracted players at all skill levels including NBA players like Trae Young.If you’re looking to improve your coaching please consider joining the Hoop Heads Mentorship Program.
