Our special guest for this Member Brief was Mat Ellis – Founder & CEO of Sixty AI and Managing Partner of Sunny Ventures. Although Mat is best known for founding Cloudability, which was acquired by Apptio in 2019, we know him as one of our most generous and stalwart supporters in the Portland ecosystem.

As a former Brit living in Portland, OR, naturally Mat boasts an extensive tea collection. He also knows his way around a poker table; watch out if he sits at your table. In this member brief we’re going to catch up with Mat and pick his brain on topics across the wide spectrum of his experience… as a serial, exited founder, as an investor, and as a startup junkie dedicated to supporting the Portland ecosystem.

Sixty AI helps you take back your time. They use AI and machine learning to solve one big problem of modern technology: its constant demands for more and more of your attention.
