Five years of owning Amazon businesses. One idea to make advertising math, not guesswork.

I've led £22M+ in Amazon revenue and full P&L ownership across the UK, EMEA, and the US — and I'm building the tool I wish I'd had: an AI layer that connects directly to Amazon's Ads API and turns bidding into a solved equation instead of a dashboard to babysit.

Currently building

An AI layer for Amazon advertising

Early-stage, self-directed — grounded in five years of actually running the budgets this would optimize.

Every Amazon PPC platform I've used treats bidding as a dashboard problem: pull the data, eyeball the trend, adjust the bid. I think it's a math problem — a constrained optimization problem with real money on the line, closer to real-time bidding in ad-tech than to a reporting tool.

I'm building a tool that connects directly to Amazon's Advertising API and treats bid and budget allocation as something to be solved, not monitored — grounded in the same auction dynamics I spent years managing manually across brand-side and agency roles, including Rust-Oleum and HnS Team.

It's early. I'm not raising or recruiting yet — but if you've run Amazon ad accounts at scale and this problem is familiar to you, I'd like to hear how you think about it.
