Ilko Kacharov — CEO
Co-Founder and CTO at Juma. We build AI that takes a real marketing task and finishes it — research, content, distribution, all of it. You give Juma the brief. Juma runs the work. That's Juma Flows. I've been in software for 20 years, working across e-commerce, telco, and email deliverability before co-founding Camplight Dev Cooperative — projects for clients including Volkswagen and Yale. That's where I met Iliya, Juma's CEO. When ChatGPT dropped, the three of us — Iliya, Yavor, and me — made a call: what we were building wouldn't survive it. A month of whiteboards. Dozens of experiments. One Friday afternoon I checked domain availability, found team-gpt.com for $10, bought it, showed the team. That was the moment we all knew. One week later: production prototype. Since then we've rebuilt the platform multiple times. MongoDB to PostgreSQL. Vercel to Dockerized AWS for enterprise self-hosting. Single-vendor to multi-vendor, multi-model, multi-modal. I built the first Dockerized enterprise prototype solo over Christmas 2023, same week my son Zachary was born. Three months later users were on the new beta. The team is 15 engineers now. We ship 65+ PRs per release, multiple times a week. Aurora RDS running tens of millions of messages. The principle hasn't changed: no rollback, only roll forward. If you're evaluating Juma for your team, the infrastructure behind it is production-grade and it gets better every week. → juma.ai/flows
