> Patrick has built four software companies that did business internationally.

Is this in reference to Bingo Card Creator and Appointment Reminder? Or was there something equally notable in Patrick's international business track record?



I think Starfighters was another, a recruiting firm that found talent via coding challenges, for which Patrick built a mock stock exchange with an API for people to write trading bot clients to defeat specific 'levels' of the game. It was a lot of fun.

Great guy, transparent with his finances, always giving free advice here and on his blog.

He got a great following on HN, so great that Stripe hired him. :)


Translating and consulting are the other two, presumably.
