Chad Swenson

Chad Swenson is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tappity, an educational technology and children's media startup based in Palo Alto, California. He established the interactive learning platform alongside co-founder Lawrence Tran in 2018 to develop science-focused mobile applications for early childhood education. Under his executive leadership, the four-employee company participated in the 2020 batch of the Y Combinator accelerator program, where they worked closely with primary partner Jared Friedman. Following this early institutional backing, the startup scaled its proprietary content library to include hundreds of interactive science lessons. This digital catalog achieved high download rankings within the Kids and Education categories of the Apple App Store. Swenson currently focuses on expanding digital education platforms that merge foundational science curricula with interactive entertainment to create screen-based learning experiences for the modern consumer market.
