Tim Freestone
I make it happen.
About
I’m a founder in Sydney. I like taking a rough idea and turning it into something real that people pay for.
Most recently I founded Alooba, a skills assessment platform used by companies like Agoda, Unilever, Canva, WooliesX and Suncor Energy, which I sold in 2026. Before that I built GradTests and ran the data team at HotelsCombined.
These days I’m putting AI agents to work on real business problems, and running pickleball for Sydney’s founders, investors, execs and tech people.
