Our take
Online shopping's popularity has surged rapidly, yet its fundamental experience has remained largely unchanged since its inception. TILT is building a transformative social commerce product for young adults that reflects a new paradigm in consumer culture driven by Gen-Z.
The landscape of social commerce, involving the direct sale of products through social media platforms, is undergoing explosive expansion. In fact, this market is predicted to surpass one trillion US dollars by 2028. TILT stands as an ambitious startup with aspirations to become a linchpin in the global commerce arena.
Considerable funding will help TILT achieve this goal, as it invests in efforts to build on the success of its live-shopping app. While industry titans such as Facebook, TikTok, and Klarna are fervently innovating with shopping-oriented formats and features, the ultimate breakthrough remains elusive - giving TILT a real opportunity to stand out.
