About

Jay Gould, also know as the Greensboro Chad and commonly known as Chad Thundercock is an American tech entrepreneur, investor, podcaster and the founder and CEO of Yashi. Gould gained online popularity thanks to a photo of his college days that shows him in a sleeveless shirt with "Greensboro Football" written on as he's fiercely glaring at someone on his left. The photo went viral and got often associated with the stereotypical image of a Chad and high school jocks in general. The Chad from the Virgin vs. Chad meme format is based on him.

Origin

Born on April 1st, 1979, Jay Gould graduated from Rowan University in 2001, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Law & Justice.[1][2] From 2002 to 2005, Gould created and sold two websites that generated income through advertising to Bolt Media, which granted him a position as partner in the company and later became its president.[3][4] Gould also created the website GamersMedia,[5][6] which in 2007 was turned into Yashi,[7][8][9] co-founded by him and his wife Caitlin.[10] On February 2nd, 2015, Gould sold Yashi to Nexstar Media Group for $33 million.[10] Despite its absence from his personal social media profiles, Gould's "Greensboro Football" photo (shown below) became an icon in meme culture.
