“The TiiCKER platform has experienced significant growth marked by surges in use among retail investors, advances in our cutting-edge technology, and new public company partnerships,” said Jeff Lambert, founder and CEO of TiiCKER. “These talented new team members will strengthen our capacity to deliver special perks and rewards to retail shareholders from the stocks they own, while growing the previously ignored affinity audience of everyday investors for the public companies with whom we partner.”
The company will continue to acquire new talent and deploy updated technology following the completion of its $5 million seed funding round this past April and its recent ranking as one of MarTech Outlook's Top 10 Startups of 2023. TiiCKER’s growing dominance in direct-to-shareholder marketing is reflected in its total of more than $600 million in connected assets among users on the platform.
