London-based Tilt operates a live-commerce platform that combines real-time video streaming with artificial intelligence to facilitate social shopping.
London-based live-commerce platform Tilt has raised $26m in fresh funding led by Vinted Ventures, alongside returning backers including TQ Ventures, Balderton Capital, Earlybird, and Seedcamp. The round brings the company's total funding past the $50m milestone.
Founded in 2021 by former Revolut employees, Tilt enables independent sellers to host live auctions and interact directly with buyers. The platform has experienced rapid growth, expanding across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Poland since its previous Series A round.
The newly secured capital will be directed towards accelerating artificial intelligence development, growing the seller community across new markets, and expanding the company's workforce.
From the founder
"The next generation won’t browse static listings the way their parents did—they’ll discover and buy through video, conversation, and live interaction, across every category"
