Tikk

Tikk, founded in 2016 by Martin Hiscox, operated as a mobile-based local event discovery platform headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom. The company, which is now considered deadpooled, provided a service for users to find local events and festivals through an application available on both Android and iOS as of July 2017.

The platform's primary function was to allow users to browse for events and purchase tickets directly through the app. A notable feature of Tikk was its secondary marketplace, which enabled users to list their own tickets for resale. If a user's listed ticket was sold, they would receive a refund, providing a mechanism for ticket exchange within the app's ecosystem.

Despite operating in a competitive market with major players like StubHub and Eventbrite, Tikk did not secure any funding rounds during its operational period. The founder, Martin Hiscox, is also noted as an angel investor in two other startups. The company's platform aimed to streamline the event-going experience, from discovery to ticketing and even resale, for a mobile-first user base.
