Try Googling for "Tilt". Unexpected.

I wonder how Tilt, the company, feels about that...


We dig it! I think it's a fun thing that many people's introduction to our product via google will be unexpected/quirky.


Skewed search results? Fun, not funny.


I remember the very day that PG, Khaled, and James sat down in 2012 and defined the future of Tilt. Amazingly exciting to see how it's grown since. I love that the nicest founders in our batch are doing the best :)


Congrats guys! Couldn't agree more about James and Khaled being the nicest founders in our batch. Really happy for their success.


All they do is ship ship ship, no matter what.


Second that!


Third!


4th. I met James and Khaled in Austin pre-YC. Nicest guys in the world.

Couldn't be happier for them.


This could go on. :) Congrats guys!!


A client came to me about 10 years ago and wanted me to build an app that let individuals collect money from a group. (In their case for wedding gifts). I told them they were crazy because it would get taken over by fraudsters trying to cash out on stolen credit cards and PayPal accounts.

Another lesson for me I guess for being overly cautious instead of coming up with solutions. I'm glad to see people have figured out how to make these things work. Of course at the time you had to legally offer your right arm and your first born to get a merchant account.


Or just use WePay.


This was several years before wepay or any service like it existed. These days there are so many great choices - it's amazing!


James and Khaled have been consistently executing. As with most overnight successes, this one is years in the making.


Congrats guys! Great founders, hustlers, and hackers == incredible team making great progress. Super excited for you!


I was pretty close to making this. I'm glad to see this is out there, and it's free for small groups.


Congrats guys. Super excited for the team!


Congrats to Khaled and the Tilt team!


Love you guys!! :)
