Kitchn.io

Market position

Kitchn.io is a seed-stage martech/SaaS company serving paid social operations, listed in the active portfolio of Venista Ventures and described there as an operating system for performance marketing at scale. Reported usage includes 2,100+ ad accounts launching through the platform, more than $200M in ad spend processed, and over 1,000 media buyers using the product.

Kitchn.io positions itself as a replacement for manual work in native Ads Manager interfaces, emphasising a spreadsheet-style bulk workflow rather than per-ad form filling, smart defaults and templates that propagate across rows, and pre-launch QA. Its stated differentiator is centralised management of 86 tracked creative enhancement and AI settings that platforms may switch on by default or re-apply on edits, keeping them off unless deliberately enabled, plus enforced naming conventions, approval workflows and an auditable record of changes across one interface spanning eight ad channels.

Technology

Direct integrations with the APIs of major ad platforms, combined with a spreadsheet-like web interface supporting drag-and-drop uploads, bulk editing, template inheritance and automated matching of imported assets to ads and placements. Additional components include automated folder scanning and asset import, custom ad naming, rule-based campaign changes and ad duplication, cloud storage and DAM integrations, CSV/Google Sheet import and API access. The company describes its approach as building on low-code development platform trends to let marketing teams automate manual processes.

Go-to-market

Sales are demo-led: the website's primary calls to action are booking a demo or speaking with an automation specialist or sales, with a 14-day guided free trial and a sales contact address. Higher tiers add personal onboarding and training, a shared Slack channel, priority support and white-glove onboarding with a dedicated customer success manager. Marketing uses customer proof points, including a case study with agency Misfit and a testimonial from the Director of Paid Media at Canadian agency Bloom.

Paid social professionals: performance marketing agencies and in-house media buying teams that launch high volumes of ads, from smaller launch teams to enterprises requiring custom workflows and API access.

Geography

Headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Referenced customers include agencies outside Germany, such as the Canadian performance marketing agency Bloom, and the platform supports campaigns across EU, UK, US, DE and FR markets with pricing quoted in EUR, USD and GBP.

History

The company was founded in 2019 and operates from Berlin as the legal entity Kitchn Venture GmbH, led by co-founders Martin Kreienbaum, Simon Kreienbaum and Stefan Maier, all listed as managing directors. Early positioning centred on a drag-and-drop visual programming platform that let developers and technical marketers build tools and automate manual marketing operations. The product has since been presented as an ad automation suite with a spreadsheet-style launch sheet, QA engine, approval workflows and integrations across eight ad channels. It is listed as an active portfolio company of Berlin-based Venista Ventures and is classified as seed stage by the Startbase database.
