Initially launched in 2016 as a social streaming network, TiZR has since evolved its business model. Originally, the London-based company, founded by Jean Michel Reynoird and Yacine Hanaya, focused on ephemeral live video broadcasts that would be deleted after twenty minutes unless extended by user 'likes'. This early version attracted investors like Spinnin' Records and early adoption from high-profile figures such as DJ David Guetta.
The current iteration of TiZR functions as a social media aggregator. It provides a platform where users can connect and view their various social media timelines and newsfeeds in a single location. The company's business model is centered on monetizing user activity on the platform. Revenue generated from user engagement is used to fund a rewards program, essentially paying users for their social media activity within the app. To support this model, the team leverages its experience in digital marketing to implement various monetization strategies.
A notable feature of the app is a built-in VPN service, which offers users access to over 6,500 secure servers. The platform also includes a statistical tracker for users to monitor their daily social media activity. The company appears to have shifted from its original video-sharing concept to a rewards-based social aggregation service, also referred to as a "Social MoneTIZER".
