Tilt.com, Inc. (formerly Crowdtilt) was a crowdfunding company founded in 2012 that allowed for groups and communities to collect, fundraise, or pool money online. James Beshara and Khaled Hussein launched the platform under the name Crowdtilt out of Y Combinator.
The company was legally certified in securing fundraisers for non-profit organizations. The company was initially based in Texas and was then headquartered in San Francisco, California.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
In 2017, Airbnb acquired the company and retired the Tilt platform in an acqui-hire.[11]
