Biography

Andrew Daines was born and raised in New York City and is the son of two proud USU graduates. He attended the US Naval Academy in Annapolis for two years then finished his undergraduate degree in Philosophy in 2010 at Cornell University. Andrew launched his first startup, PrePlay, a sports app that allowed fans to make live, real-time predictions about what would happen next in pro sports games. It quickly caught the eye of Major League Baseball and the league made an investment that took the company out of obscurity.

After growing and ultimately selling the business, Andrew worked as a turnaround executive for NFL team owner Stephen Ross. In 2019 Andrew returned to entrepreneurship by launching Chassie, which designs, makes, and sells artistic furniture out of an 8,000 sq. ft. facility in the Bronx. As the world of work evolves, Chassie focuses on home and office desks that meet the new needs of a flexible workforce. After just two years Chassie has designed and built its unique style of furniture for hundreds of consumers and companies, from Adobe to Warby Parker to Google.
