‘People can go from zero to 100’: How Gen Z is raking in $260,000 per month on a livestream auction app
Fortune Joshua Hong
Tilt, a London-based livestream auction marketplace, has enabled young sellers to generate substantial revenue, with one sneaker seller reaching $260,000 in monthly sales. The platform uses AI models with roughly 90% accuracy to automatically scan, identify, and list products from livestreams, reducing friction for sellers unfamiliar with traditional listing processes. The company's differentiation through AI-powered automation positions it to compete with rivals like Whatnot as livestream commerce expands beyond Asia into Western markets.
