Tim Chase is the CEO and Founder of Striver, the world’s first abuse-free social media platform created by footballers for fans.

Opening up about his mental health, living with ADHD, the feeling of ‘not wanting to burden anyone as a man with what’s going on in your mind', and a harrowing event whereby he was next to someone who got stabbed in the neck with Tim putting his fingers into his neck to try to save him.
