Chao Cheng-Shorland - ShelterZoom’s CEO and co-founder, has been accepted into the Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community of world-class CIOs, CTOs and other technology executives!
Chao Cheng-Shorland joins other Forbes Technology Council members, who are hand-selected, to become part of a curated network of successful peers and gain access to a variety of exclusive benefits and resources, including the opportunity to submit thought leadership articles and short tips on industry-related topics for publishing on Forbes.com.
Chao and her co-founder Allen Alishahi, officially founded ShelterZoom in 2017. This is the first-ever blockchain-based offer and acceptance platform for real estate that easily integrates with existing real estate websites - effectively revolutionizing the real estate industry. In 2018, ShelterZoom has already been the recipient of many awards. First the company took home the SIIA CODiE Award for Best Emerging Technology, won the ‘Company of the Year’ Blockchain award from CIO Applications, and then was named runner-up for The Blockchain Startup of 2018 by The Blocks.
“The real estate industry is fragmented and antiquated in numerous ways, with technology being high on the list,” says Chao. “Allen and I saw this massive inefficiency as an opportunity to leverage our backgrounds and unify the industry through technological innovation and standardization. Additionally, we wanted to build something that delivered value and positive experiences for everyone involved: buyers, sellers, renters and everyone else with a stake in the game. So we decided to start ShelterZoom”
