A Letter From the Founders

Hey 👋

We're Tin Runje and Marko Gregurić, co-founders of TIMA.

We've built apps, scaled consumer brands, and run paid social ourselves - wins and expensive lessons included.

We've built apps.
Scaled brands.
Burned money on ads.
Won some. Lost more.

And there's one feeling every founder knows - but rarely talks about.

You launch something you genuinely believe in.

The product is polished.
The branding looks clean.
You've told your friends.
You've posted on LinkedIn.

This is it.

Then reality hits.

Marketing doesn't magically work.

Ads don't convert.
Creatives flop.
Agencies quote €8–15k per month.
Freelancers promise growth and disappear.

And suddenly, instead of building your product, you're learning CapCut at 1am and watching YouTube tutorials on "high converting hooks".

It's exhausting.

The Real Problem

Most founders don't fail because of product.

They fail because of distribution.

We've seen it over and over again:

  • Brands with incredible products but weak creatives
  • DTC founders stuck in endless testing cycles
  • Teams spending more time producing ads than improving what they sell
  • Startups burning cash because they can't iterate fast enough

Marketing today isn't about having one good ad.

It's about volume.
Iteration.
Speed.
Data loops.

And that requires time, skill, capital - or a full team.

Most small brands don't have that.

So they do what feels safe:

  • Build more features
  • Redesign the website again
  • Hope one post "goes viral"

We've done it too.

Why This Is Personal

Before TIMA, we ran campaigns manually.

We tested creatives one by one.
Launched them.
Waited.
Analyzed.
Redesigned.
Repeated.

Scaling meant hiring more people.
More designers.
More editors.
More media buyers.

It wasn't scalable.
It wasn't intelligent.
It was chaos disguised as strategy.

And we kept asking ourselves:

Why does marketing still feel this manual in 2026?

Why is creative production still the bottleneck?

Why isn't there an intelligent system that just… runs it?

That question became TIMA.

What TIMA Really Is

TIMA isn't another marketing tool.

It's not a dashboard.
It's not a template library.
It's not "AI for brainstorming captions."

TIMA is The Intelligent Marketing Agent.

It learns your brand - your tone, your visuals, your audience.

Then it:

  • Generates creatives at scale
  • Launches campaigns
  • Analyzes performance
  • Iterates automatically
  • Scales what works

It doesn't just give you suggestions.

It executes.

Instead of hiring a marketing team, you plug in TIMA.

Instead of manually testing ads, TIMA runs the loop for you.

Instead of guessing what works, TIMA finds out.

Who This Is For

TIMA is for founders who:

  • Care deeply about their product
  • Know marketing matters
  • Don't want to become full-time marketers
  • Want speed without hiring a 10-person team

If you've ever thought:

"My product is good. Why isn't it growing?"

This is for you.

Why We're Building This

We believe small teams should have access to the same marketing firepower as big brands.

AI shouldn't just help you write content.

It should help you compete.

Not every product will succeed.

But growth shouldn't depend on whether you can afford a big agency.

TIMA exists to level that field.

We're building the system we wish we had when we were launching our own products.

And we're just getting started.
