The creative OS performance marketers actually run on
I co-founded QuickAds — an AI-powered performance-creative platform (and full-stack ad OS) that turns insights from 30M+ ads into image/video/UGC creatives, then helps teams pre-test, publish, and manage campaigns. Built for founders, performance marketers, and creative directors who live on ROAS.
Why a founder or hiring manager should care
| Signal | Detail |
|---|---|
| 0→1 company building | Co-founded and drove product/engineering for a GenAI ad platform that reached global brand usage |
| Fundable outcomes | Company raised a $1.7M seed led by Kae Capital, with participation reported from leaders at Google/Meta and others (Economic Times) |
| Recognition | Silver Stevie for technology / AI innovation; Titan Brand Awards recognition for brand/tech innovation (company-reported) |
| Ship velocity | Discover → create → optimize/publish → campaign management in one loop — not a demo chatbot |
What the product offers
Market problem we attacked
Creative is the bottleneck in performance marketing: agencies are slow/expensive; spy tools stop at inspiration; raw AI image tools are fast but off-brand. QuickAds’ bet was a single OS — intelligence + generation + launch — so D2C and growth teams stop guessing.
State of the art (then)
| Approach | Limitation |
|---|---|
| Traditional agencies | Weeks of shoots/approvals; poor test volume |
| Ad spy tools | Inspiration without production |
| DIY GenAI | Speed without competitive grounding or publish ops |
My contribution (ownership)
- Co-founded the company; owned critical product + engineering surfaces for AI image/video generation and the Discover intelligence layer
- Helped ship brand kits, multi-format export, and campaign-oriented workflows
- Operated in a VC-backed environment with AppSumo launch momentum and award recognition
Approach
World-class operators + AI pipelines + proprietary ad signals as one system — briefs informed by what wins, creatives generated for conversion, then measured and iterated.
