About
Tipjoy was a social micropayments startup co-founded by Ivan Kirigin, founded in late 2007 and accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2008 batch. The platform let users support content and causes they cared about through small social payments, including tweeting a payment command on Twitter to send another user money. Tipjoy struggled to build a sustainable two-sided marketplace connecting merchants and buyers, and its founder later described the venture as unable to find sufficient traction before it shut down.
