David Tilser
Engineer turned founder. 10+ years building software, scaling teams, and shipping product. Currently Co-founder & CEO at Uprate. Previously CTO at CleevioX.
Uprate is an AI-native service company for app builders. Everything beyond writing code — pricing across 175 territories, App Store and Play Store submissions and rejections, review replies, ASO — is handled by AI employees. Connect your store accounts and GitHub once; the AI employees do the work and surface only the decisions that need a human.
I'm a builder. I've spent the last decade shipping software — from QA scripts and banking platforms to Web3 infrastructure and AI agents. I lead with engineering instinct, take end-to-end ownership, and care more about what gets shipped than what gets said. I like talking to people who are building ambitious things, especially around AI agents, agentic commerce, and growth automation. If that's you, the door is open.
Protocols and rails for machines transacting with machines.
Open frameworks, agents, and custom builds. Tracking OpenClaw, Hermes, and the practical use cases that ship.
What I'm building right now. Focused on the long tail of work app teams hate — pricing, store ops, reviews, ASO.
My core thesis. Users shouldn't learn yet another SaaS dashboard. They should hire an AI team that just delivers the result.
