He also has an MSEE from Princeton University.[3] Patzer got his first work experience in the Internet boom years of 1998–2000, working for Getawebsite.com and Miadora.com (an online jewelry store). Mint.comAfter a number of engineering positions and internet startups, Patzer founded Mint.com in March 2006.[1] According to Patzer, he got the inspiration for Mint.com in late 2005 after being frustrated with how difficult it was to use the Intuit Quicken product.[4][5] Patzer developed the full alpha version of Mint.com (in Java J2EE and MySQL) in 2006 before he met Josh Kopelman (founder of half.com) and Rob Hayes at a STIRR dinner in the fall of 2006.[6] The meeting led to funding, and Patzer launched Mint.com at the TechCrunch40 conference a year later, in September 2007, winning the $50K first prize.[7] In September 2008, Patzer was listed in Inc. magazine's Top 30 Under 30.[8] On September 14, 2009, Intuit announced that it would buy Mint.com for $170M.[9] Patzer was criticized for selling the company for too little.[10] At the time of the announced sale, Mint.com had an estimated 1.5 million users.[11] Patzer joined Intuit as VP Product Innovation, and he is also working on a new personal transportation system.[12] Post-MintIn 2011, TechCrunch reported that Patzer's next project would be called "Swift" and was exploring the "feasibility of building a personal maglev vehicle transit system."[12] According to Patzer, he was splitting his time between the new venture and his position at Intuit. He left Intuit in December 2012.[13] Patzer founded Leonardo Software Inc. in September 2013.[14] Fountain.comIn 2013, Patzer launched Fountain.com along with Jean Sini, CTO. The main benefit to using Fountain is that you can connect with any expert, on mostly any topic, for free from your smartphone.[15] Fountain.com was sold to Porch.com in October 2015. Patzer stepped down as CEO and did not join Porch. Instead, he relocated overseas for personal reasons. Sini became the leader of Porch's San Francisco office.[16] Vital SoftwarePatzer relocated to Auckland, New Zealand and started Vital Software Ltd in 2017.[17] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=30294793 | title=Aaron Patzer: Executive Profile & Biography | publisher=Bloomberg Businessweek | accessdate=June 24, 2012 | quote=Mr. Aaron Patzer serves as an Advisor of HealthTap, Inc.

"The goal is to see if I can develop a new transportation system to displace cars in most urban and suburban settings," he told me recently, "with the goal being 5x the speed, and bringing the cost of maglev from today's costs of $50m / mile down to $4-5m / mile, which would be the same as adding one lane of asphalt/concrete road.
