Empowering Creator-Fan Relationships

We believe fans should be able to directly support the creators they love — instantly, transparently, and with as little friction as possible.

Our Story

TipJar Live started in 2024 when two friends — a Twitch engineer and a Stripe developer — got tired of watching creators lose 30-50% of their income to platforms that did not prioritize them.

They asked a simple question: What if we built a tipping platform that actually put creators first? One with the lowest possible fees, instant payouts, and tools designed specifically for live streamers and content creators.

Today, TipJar Live powers over 100,000 creator tip pages, has facilitated over $25 million in tips, and has become the go-to platform for direct creator support.
