Timberline Ventures
Apps that learn what you like.
One taste engine · A family of iOS apps
The engine underneath
Built to learn you
Most apps hand you a list and hope something sticks. Ours watch what you actually keep and reach for, then work out the pattern behind it.
The bottles you cellar, the watches you save, the roasts you rate again. Each choice teaches the engine a little more about your taste, so the next suggestion lands closer than the last. After a while it feels less like a catalog and more like a friend who already knows what you go for.
Each app keeps its own read on you. What Pour Picks learns about your whiskey stays in Pour Picks; the coffee app starts from zero and earns its own picture. Your taste data stays inside the app you gave it to.

Visit siteHow we work
Small studio, long memory
We pick niches we can serve well and stay in them for years. That patience is what lets the taste engine get good.
▲We build fewer things
We ship fewer features and fewer pages than we could, and we sweat the ones we keep. Depth is what earns a spot on someone's home screen, and it is what search rewards too.
◆Trust comes first
Our finance sites deal with people's money, so accuracy is not optional. Real sources and clear disclosure, in both languages from day one. The apps follow the same rule: your taste data is yours.
●No investors, no agenda
We are bootstrapped. Nobody is pushing us to chase a metric that does not serve the people using our stuff, so we can say things plainly and build for the long haul.

Common questions
What is Timberline Ventures LLC?
Timberline Ventures LLC is an independent digital product studio. We build a family of consumer iOS apps that learn what you like, and we publish three bilingual financial guidance sites for ITIN holders in the U.S.
What do you mean by a taste engine?
Every Timberline app runs on the same engine, one that learns your taste from how you use it: which bottles you keep, which watches you save. It works out the pattern behind your choices instead of handing you a list, and each app keeps what it learns to itself.
What apps does Timberline Ventures publish?
Pour Picks for bourbon and whiskey, Stick Picks for cigars, Perfume Picks for fragrance, Percolate for specialty coffee, and Underdial for watches. Four more are in the works: Cabin for private jet charter, Layer for skincare, Right of Way for new drivers, and Game Night for board games. All are native iOS apps.
Who operates the ITIN information sites?
itinlending.net, itincreditcard.com, and itincreditscore.com are owned and operated by Timberline Ventures LLC. They publish independent, bilingual guides for ITIN holders. Timberline is not a lender or a broker.
Is Timberline Ventures a lender or financial advisor?
No. The ITIN sites are independent publishers, not lenders, brokers, or financial advisors. Everything on them is for information only.
