Timo Bakker
Founder & CEO, Class Action Buddy
Product designer + engineer building consumer protection tech at Kaptivate Labs LLC. Focus on removing bureaucratic friction between people and money they are legally owed.
Background
Timo founded Class Action Buddy in 2025 after filing (and mostly forgetting to file) enough class action claims himself to notice a pattern: consumer protection lawsuits produce hundreds of millions in settlement funds that go unclaimed because the actual filing process is a friction wall — 15-page PDFs, missing receipts, missed deadlines. CAB is the fix.
Before CAB, Timo led product design at multiple consumer-facing SaaS companies and shipped mobile apps used by tens of thousands of paying users. His work focuses on the intersection of visual design, forms UX, and boring-but-important workflows.
Areas of expertise
- Class action settlement mechanics (filing, deadlines, no-proof declarations, admin firm workflows).
- PDF form autofill at coordinate precision (the technical guts of CAB).
- Consumer protection tech — the intersection of regulation and user experience.
- Product design + engineering for mobile-first consumer apps.
