Gaining Momentum

Tiun App (Tiun AG) is a legitimate Swiss fintech startup that recently raised ~$2.5M (Dec 2024) to solve subscription fatigue via time-based micropayments. While the project has significant backing and partnerships with 50+ media titles, the submission itself provided low-quality, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong market timing and verifiable VC traction, penalized by the early stage of user adoption and the poor quality of the submission data.

Description
Tiun is a company that strives to revolutionize how digital media content is consumed and paid for today. \n\nWe envision a world where digital natives can “Tiun” into any subscription service without an account and only pay for the exact duration they used it.\n\nThis way, people stay flexible in their choice of subscription service (bigger offering), save money, and remain private (no accounts, logins or passwords)
