Growing up…
Growing up in a family of six kids in Florida, Tim learned the value of hard work at an early age. His mother was a nurse and his father worked as a clerk at the post officeAs the eldest son, Tim helped to run the family business when they had the opportunity to own one. He had no prior knowledge or training, but at 15, while the other kids at school were playing football, cheerleading, and in band, Tim began learning sales, invoicing, and bookkeeping.
College & Code
After high school, Tim attended Florida State University for Multinational Business with a focus on Japanese language and culture. With a business degree that didn’t quite cover all the logistics, he had no idea what he was getting himself into when he founded his first startup, Collideascript.
A few job opportunities came knocking after college, but Tim chose to go the route of founding a company instead. He quickly learned that there’s no handbook for starting your own business- you have to learn as you go. With grit and determination (and more than a few mistakes), Tim dove into product development and programming.
Tim began teaching himself how to code in PHP so that he could build the first beta release of Collideascript. He was immediately hooked and loved the challenge of learning a new skill. He became a full-stack developer and continues to teach himself new coding languages and technologies.
Startups and Marketing Agencies
In 2011, he packed up his bags and moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a career in the advertising industry. However, it was during his time spent working at various agencies that he began to developed a deeper interest in startups and the tech world.
Tim Cason is a self-proclaimed startup journeyman. He’s been a part of startups in various stages, from inception to exit. He has founded several companies in his career: Collideascript, PrintLeggings, ShadowBid, Fueled on Bacon, Boastable, CTRL Collective.
In 2017, Tim was accepted into Boomtown Startup Accelerator in Boulder, CO as the Chief Technology Officer at ShadowBid. In addition to his work with startups, Tim has also had a long and successful career in agency work. He’s worked with brands like FX Networks, HBO, 2K Games, Microsoft and Dole.
