THE IDEA

Start with the friction people already feel.

Creators already had an audience, but support was fragmented across payment rails and platform features. TIPA made a Pix donation feel immediate: one link, a message from the fan, an alert on the stream, and tools to turn a transaction into participation.

WHAT SHIPPED
  1. MVP launched in four days and iterated with real creators
  2. Pix donation pages and creator profiles
  3. Customizable live alerts with message, sound, GIF, font, and transition controls
  4. Widgets and apps for Twitch, YouTube Live, Trovo, and Kick
  5. TIPA Subs monthly contributions and Discord integration
  6. Rails + Vue + PostgreSQL APIs, background jobs, and realtime event pipelines
