VHT Pitches at Seattle AI Summit; Founder Dean Shev Wins Bloome Hackathon

On July 29, 2026, VHT joined the B.E.L.L.E Seattle AI Summit, "The Infrastructure Era," at the W Bellevue Hotel in Bellevue, Washington.

Our President & co-founder, Darren Nicholls, pitched VHT in the summit's startup pitch session, sharing our vision of moving healthcare from reactive to proactive through personalized health intelligence, in front of founders, investors and AI leaders.

In the afternoon, our founder & CTO, Dean Shev, entered the Bloome AI Team Hackathon, a fast build sprint run by one of the summit's sponsors, and took 1st place. Instead of writing code, each participant directs a small team of AI agents to research, write and review, then ships something real and pitches it.

The day ended with an executive dinner hosted by B.E.L.L.E, bringing founders, investors and industry leaders together around one table.

Winning a build sprint is fun. The bigger reward was a full day of conversations with people building the next generation of AI across the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you to the B.E.L.L.E Community team, to Bloome, and to everyone who came by to talk with us.
