Patrik Seebacher
Founder, builder, Product Owner — from Bolzano. I took the first South Tyrolean startup ever to CES Las Vegas; now I build autonomous AI systems.

Bolzano / Bozen — 1992–2013
Born in Bolzano.
Raised on trade fairs.
I was born in Bolzano in 1992 — entrepreneur father, homemaker mother. At fourteen he started taking me along: client meetings, trade fairs, halls full of strangers across Italy. I watched deals get made before I was old enough to make one. It lit a fire that never went out.
On paper, I studied accounting — ragioneria at ITC Walther in Bolzano, 2009 to 2013. In parallel, I worked: odd jobs at home in South Tyrol and abroad.
My real apprenticeship happened in rooms nobody photographs: my father's trading businesses, an import/export firm, and the Würth Group — including a stint in Canada. Years later I'd come full circle, back at Würth. But first, there were startups to build.

The Founder Era
Four ventures in four years with my childhood friend Tobias Marmsoler: Gipsyway, the Chap app, the W2 agency — and Chap SDK, which turned pedestrians into customers with geolocated advertising.

CES 2020
We were selected among the 50 best Italian startups for the "Made in Italy — The Art of Technology" delegation. Four of us flew out — the first South Tyrolean startup ever to exhibit at CES.

The Builder Era
Today: Product Owner at Würth Phoenix — and after hours, a constellation of autonomous systems with names of their own: AlpsPlanner, susy-x, GOATY, solbatcher, orderflow.
