Dan Hobbs

Yo, have you heard of Dan Hobbs? The guy’s a total machine. He’s a YC S21 alum, so he’s fresh outta the startup oven, but trust me, he’s got that seasoned vibe. Basically, he’s all about making real shit happen, not just talking about it.

So, Dan’s been around the block a few times. His first company? He crushed it, sold it, and then jumped right into the future trend. That’s the kind of guy who doesn’t rest on his laurels, he’s always pushing forward. His latest project, Protex AI, is super dope. It’s all about making workplaces safer with CCTV cameras. Think about it, using AI to prevent accidents and keep people protected. That’s some real deal tech, and it’s got the possible to change how we think about security.

Before Protex, he was involved with BetterExaminations, no idea what that’s about, but it shows he’s got a knack for tackling different problems. He’s been featured on podcasts like the Irish Business Builders on Apple and some YouTube interviews, talking about how he’s building this stuff from the ground up. And, yo, Forbes even covered him, saying he’d already sold his first company before jumping into YC. That’s not just some hobbyist, he’s legit.

What’s crazy about Dan is his motivation. The dude’s not in it for the fame or the money alone. He’s genuinely trying to solve real problems, making workplaces safer, improving security, you name it. He’s the kind of founder who sees a problem and just jumps into it, no bullshit, no excuses. That’s why he’s so important. He’s proof that if you’re passionate and you’re willing to put in the work, you can build something that really matters.

Bottom line? Dan Hobbs is that guy who proves you don’t need to be perfect, just relentless. He’s all about turning ideas into impact, and honestly, he’s just getting started. Keep an eye on him, he’s the real deal, no cap.
