Hi, I'm Patrick Ellis
A Seattle based tech Founder and AI Engineer building GenAI native startups, tools for thinking, and sharing my discoveries along the way.
I'm deeply passionate about rethinking how we build startups in the GenAI age. How do we 10x+ our productivity as AI Engineers? What does it look like to build a highly capital efficient <20 unicorn startup? How do we empower the next generation along the way?
As CTO & Co-Founder of Snapbar, I'm leading the transformation of event marketing and photography through our platform of AI-native apps, trusted by Disney, Nike, Coca-Cola, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, FIFA, and hundreds of other brands. Named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Seattle in 2023, I've built multiple successful startups, including DubHacks (the PNW's largest collegiate hackathon), have pioneered AI-driven products that have generated over 8 figures in revenue at Snapbar, and have helped scale multiple VC-backed early stage startups in San Francisco and Seattle (as an Engineer) that have gone on to acquisition.
