Patrick Ellis
Hi, I'm Patrick - a Forbes 30 Under 30 Seattle-based AI startup Founder / CTO, and AI Engineer. I'm currently building Snapbar, and previously Co-Founded DubHacks, the PNW's largest Hackathon. Prior that I helped scale VC-backed tech startups in San Francisco and Seattle, after attending the University of Washington. I'm passionate about sharing my learnings, as I scale Snapbar, deep dive into all things AI (CodeGen, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Bolt, ChatGPT, Flux, Stable Diffusion, etc), and build the future of AI-powered startups. I'm obsessed with the idea of the sub-20 person heavily AI leveraged unicorn startup.
