Early stage startup

Built by sailors.
For sailors.

CHIEF started as a personal frustration — spending hours filling out the same CV for every crewing company, losing track of certificate expiry dates, carrying folders of paper documents.

We’re an early-stage startup on a mission to modernize maritime careers. Join early — your feedback shapes the product.
