Chad Mureta is a blockchain gaming investor/advisor, author, speaker, investor and serial entrepreneur.[1][2][3][4] Chad is also the Co-Founder of Project EVO.[5]
Early life
After graduating college, Mureta owned a newspaper company and worked as a real estate investor.[4] In 2006, Mureta started his own real estate agency in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.[4] During the height of the housing market crash, he often worked 18-hour days.[2]
In January 2009, Mureta drove home from a basketball game when he hit a deer, which caused his car to flip four times. The accident crushed and nearly severed his left arm.[2] He underwent two major operations and spent 18 months recovering, accruing nearly $100,000 in hospital bills.[2] While in the hospital, a friend gave Mureta a newspaper article about app millionaires.[2][6]
Career
After he was released from the hospital, Mureta borrowed $1,800 from his stepfather to start his app business.[6] He used the money to create his first app, "Fingerprint Security-Pro," which mimics fingerprint-scanning technology.[7] Fingerprint Security-Pro became a bestseller in the App Store, peaking at number 27 in the App Store in 2011, and netting more than $500,000 in revenue.[2][4][8]
After "Fingerprint Security-Pro," Mureta went on to create over 50 apps that have been downloaded more than 150 million times worldwide.[9][10][11]
In 2012 he wrote the book App Empire: Make Money, Have a Life, and Let Technology Work for You, which was released by John Wiley & Son.[12] It chronicles Mureta's transformation from real estate agent to appreneur and provides a non-technical guide to starting a mobile app business.[6][13]
During a BBC interview in October 2015, Mureta revisited his near death experience and his company, App Empire, which brings in $3m to $5m in revenue every year.[14]
In February 2018, Project EVO launched an Indiegogo campaign, which reached $1 million in funds on November 18, 2018, and is still growing.[15]
Television
In July 2012, Mureta was featured on 60 Minutes. In the interview titled "The App Revolution", Mureta said, "This is just the beginning, and I think a lot of people are just getting that this is a real business. This is a real industry and really there's not a lot of barrier to entry to get into it. Anybody can. The thing is, I am just like everybody else. There's no difference. I mean yes, I've been successful, I'm not the smartest person in the world, and I've never had any tech experience."[16]
Mureta was interviewed by Tony Robbins in a special titled, "How To Create An App Empire".[17]
Philosophy
Mureta believes in understanding the marketplace to come up with app ideas then outsourcing the actual programming.[4] Another one of his apps is Emoji, Mureta created this app in two weeks. Within six days of release, it was averaging $500 per day and was No. 1 on the App Store's productivity category and No. 12 in the top free overall category.[2][18]
Mureta does most of his business from his iPhone, including managing his employees, looking at his apps' daily stats and rankings, and surveying the app market.[13] He has used the app business as a means to work less and to use more time to travel.[19]
Mureta began his app business without experience in the app or technology fields.[6] He has since founded and served as CEO of Empire Apps and co-founded T3 Apps and Best Apps.[20][21][22]
