Tiemo is the Founder of Together - An AI-powered Social App That Automatically Detects When You’re Experiencing Something With Friends And Instantly Shares All Photos And Videos In Real Time With Everyone Involved. He has taken the challenge to answer our 20 Truth Questions, For us to gain some insight, And learn the Truth about the person behind the venture.
My TRUTH Story:
1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON TO A CROWD OF 10,000+ PEOPLE?
Tiemo is a passionate entrepreneur from Austria, dedicated to building products that bring people closer together in the real world, not just online.
With a deep belief in the power of authentic connection, he co-founded one of Europe’s most promising social startups. Tiemo brings not only vision, but relentless energy to every room he steps into. Whether he’s pitching to investors, building with his team, or speaking to a crowd like this one - he shows up with purpose, and a smile.
Today, he’s here to share his story and maybe spark a new one in you.
2. WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF A TRUTH FOUNDER?
To me, a Truth Founder is someone who doesn’t hide behind buzzwords or trends.
Someone who’s honest about what they know, what they don’t know, and what their product is really meant to change.
It’s about being clear with your team, your investors, and yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
3. WHAT EVENT OR EVENTS HAPPENED TO YOU THAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A FOUNDER?
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of building something of my own.
Even back in school, I dreamed of starting something one day. Not just following a path, but creating one.
4. WHAT IS YOUR MORNING ROUTINE & RITUAL? The first thing I do in the morning is check my emails right after I wake up. Then I get ready for the day and take a few minutes to write down my to-dos. It helps me get focused before I head to the office and dive into work.
5. WHAT MANTRA,QUOTE,LINE OR PHRASE DO YOU SAY OFTEN TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE YOURSELF? If it were easy, everyone would do it.
6. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULD CARE ABOUT YOUR VENTURE? People should care about our venture because it brings back what social media was meant to be about: real connections.
We’re not building another platform for staged moments or passive scrolling. We’re creating a space where people can relive real memories with their friends from all perspectives, not just their own.
In a world where most digital interactions feel surface-level, we’re building something human. Something that reminds people that the best moments in life aren’t filtered, they’re shared.
7. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONE TO MAKE YOUR VENTURE A SUCCESS?
I don’t think I alone am the one to make this venture a success. But together with our team we can.
With Luca as our CEO, Martin as our CTO, and a group of people who bring both deep know-how and relentless drive, I truly believe we have what it takes.
We’re not just building a product, we’re fully committed to the mission. And we’re ready to give everything for this idea. That’s what makes us the right team.
8. WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR VENTURE? ( START WITH: IMAGINE A WORLD... WHAT IF... WE WILL BE... )
IMAGINE A WORLD where every shared moment with friends no matter who took the photo automatically finds its way to you.
WHAT IF you never had to ask, “Hey, can you send me that picture?” again?
WHAT IF social media actually brought people closer together, instead of making them feel more alone?
WE WILL BE the platform where real-life memories come together, effortlessly. Where friendships grow stronger because you don’t just see your own life, you see it through the eyes of your friends.
9. ANSWER THESE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE - I BELIEVE... I DON'T BELIEVE... I Believe that our mission will succeed if we keep working hard.
10. WHAT'S ONE DECISION YOU MADE AS A FOUNDER THAT COMPLETELY CHANGED THE COURSE OF YOUR JOURNEY? One decision that completely changed the course of our journey was realizing that our manual system just wouldn’t scale. At some point, we had to sit down and be brutally honest with ourselves when we knew this version won’t work in the long run.
So we went back to the drawing board, questioned everything, and that’s when the idea for our AI system was born. A system that can automatically detect shared experiences and bring the right memories to the right people, without manual effort.
11. WHAT DO YOU REGARD AS YOUR GREATEST SUCCESS PERSONALLY & AS A FOUNDER? I feel incredibly lucky to have a family that fully supports me and stands behind what I’m doing even when things get tough.
I’m especially grateful that I got to meet Luca, and later Martin, to start this adventure together with. Having a team that shares the same vision, pushes each other forward, and truly believes in what we’re building, that’s something I’ll never take for granted. Ideas can change, products can pivot, but the people beside you make all the difference.
12. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY? That I can calm myself down when it is a stressful period. In some moments you should not decide too quick because otherwise you will regret something. And in this situations I can have a big view on the following things.
13. WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN IMPROVE ABOUT YOURSELF, AND WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT BY NOW?
What I like most about myself is that I can stay calm during stressful times.
I’ve learned not to rush decisions when emotions are too high because acting too quickly can often lead to mistakes you later regret.
In those moments, I’m able to take a step back, look at the bigger picture, and make decisions with a clear mind. It’s something that’s helped me a lot, especially as a founder.
14. WHAT'S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED OR GIVEN, OR BOTH?
The best piece of advice I’ve ever received was: “Be honest. Don’t sugarcoat things, people will appreciate it in the long run.”
The best advice I’ve given was probably: “Build with people you trust. Everything else can be figured out''
15. ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 - 10 BEING THE BEST. HOW WELL DO YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR TRUTH STORY IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD BY YOUR COMMUNITY? ( WHY NOT 10? )
I’d say 7 out of 10. The biggest challenge is that some things like our AI system aren't easy to understand right away. Especially with a digital product, where there’s nothing physical to touch, it can be harder for people to grasp what’s really happening behind the scenes. But we’re working on it. Through focused marketing campaigns and transparent communication, we’re doing our best to explain how the AI works and how it brings real value to our users. Understanding it takes time and we’re committed to earning it.
16. WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE AND WHY?
I really admire people who work in social and healthcare professions - like nurses, doctors, and others who do physically demanding jobs that are often underpaid and overlooked.
Even though it has nothing to do with my company, I think it says a lot about someone when they choose a path where they help others every day, often without recognition. That level of dedication, empathy, and resilience is something I truly respect.
17. DESCRIBE YOUR VENTURE - ELEVATOR PITCH STYLE?
Together is an AI-powered social app that automatically detects when you’re experiencing something with friends and instantly shares all photos and videos in real time with everyone involved.
18. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT MISSION STATEMENT OR MESSAGE + MARKET FIT FOR YOUR VENTURE?
Our generation takes more photos than ever but most of them never make it to the people who were actually part of the moment.
Traditional social media is focused on individual highlights. Together flips that by making shared memories the center of the experience.
Our product fits a new generation that values authenticity, connection, and effortlessness.
We’re not replacing social media, we’re creating a new layer that brings real-world friendships closer together.
19. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO TO UNWIND AFTER A LONG WORK DAY?
After a long work day, what I enjoy most is cooking something good to eat and watching a movie with my girlfriend. It helps me slow down, switch off from the startup mindset for a while, and just enjoy the moment.
20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU TREATED YOURSELF TO AND WHAT DID YOU CELEBRATE? The last thing I treated myself to was a short vacation with my girlfriend and other friends. We wanted to see something new, take a break from the daily pressure, and just reset for a moment. It wasn’t about celebrating something specific but more about recharging and enjoying time together.
BONUS QUESTION: WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPORTING YOU ON YOUR AMBITIOUS JOURNEY?
To everyone who’s been supporting me on this journey Thank You, truly.

But knowing that there are people who believe in us, stand behind us, and keep cheering us on means everything. The support gives us the strength to keep going, even when it gets tough.
