At the age of 15, Patrick entered the 40th Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition with his project on artificial intelligence, which was called Isaac (after Isaac Newton), and in the following year he re-entered it and won first place.

Very soon the Collison brothers relocated from Ireland to Silicon Valley, California, in order to merge their company with two Oxfords graduates, so the name of the new company was Auctomatic.
