About Tamaranga

You launch in weeks.
We've done it a thousand times.

Tamaranga builds self-hosted platforms for marketplaces, classifieds, real estate, and automotive. A decade in, a thousand-plus launches across thirty-plus countries — so the hard parts are solved before you start.

Why operators bet on us

Built to launch fast — and to last

Operators weigh two things before they commit: how quickly they can get to market, and whether what they build stays theirs for the long run. Tamaranga is built for both.

Fast to launch

A decade of solved edge cases, plus an AI team inside the admin. You go live in weeks, not quarters.

Safe to own

Self-hosted, source-owned, and licensed in perpetuity. Yours to control, not rent.

Aligned to last

Bootstrapped and founder-led since 2012. No investor clock, and no subscription you must keep paying to stay live.

What we actually believe

Four decisions we've made and kept making

Everything else we've built — the platforms, the admin, the way we price — follows from these four. If you disagree with any of them, we're probably not the right fit.

01

A platform is an argument, not a template

We don't ship neutral tools. Every platform comes with opinions about what matters — how categories should be structured, how monetization should compound, how operators should spend their attention. You get the argument. Deviate from it if you want. Most operators don't, because the arguments came from operators who went to market before you did.

02

Perpetual license, not subscription

Your software is yours. No per-seat fees, no transaction cuts, no renewal held over your project's head. A service period covers updates and support — if you stop renewing, your platform keeps running. Our incentive is your growth, not your lock-in.

03

Intelligence embedded, not bolted on

IDA isn't a chatbot bolted on after the fact. They're woven into the admin you and your team actually work in — reading live data, proposing actions, building custom extensions. Every critical operation is reviewed by a human before anything changes. IDA proposes. You decide.

04

Self-hosted by default

Your server, your data, your control. No transaction fees, no lock-in, no "you can't export your customers." You can start on our servers during the free trial and move to your own infrastructure when you're ready. If you want to keep your trial data, we migrate it for you.

What we build

Four verticals, one engine underneath

Not one product you bend into shape. Each platform ships with the conventions, monetization tools, and category models of its industry — you start from a running site, not a framework. A fifth vertical, a service marketplace, is on the way.

The people behind it

Run by the people who built it

Tamaranga is led by its two co-founders, Angelika Sol and Max Sol, who started it in 2012 and now run it from New Zealand. Around them, a core team and a trusted network of engineers and integration partners — the kind of bench you only build over a decade.

The people deciding what ships are the same ones who have shipped it all along.

And alongside the team

IDA

AI Team · Embedded in every platform

IDA (Intelligent Domain Assistance) is your AI team, helping you build, manage, and grow your platform from day one. Once you're live, IDA turns your admin panel and live data into a short list worth acting on: what's working, what isn't, where to tune monetization. Nothing ships without your say-so.

The team above builds the platforms and decides what ships. IDA works alongside your team day to day — noticing what they'd miss, acting with their approval, learning your niche.
