Tikkl is an events technology startup with headquarters in Silicon Valley and additional offices in Bhubaneswar, India.

We are a privately held company and are funded by individual angel investors from tech companies such as Oracle, Adobe, and Walt Disney.

tikkl tick·le

1 : to touch lightly and cause delight

2 : to excite or stir up agreeably

We believe that organizers create events to give attendees a great time. We want to help them do that throughout the event journey, to tickle their attendees and excite them to attend and enjoy their event.

At the heart of Tikkl's mission to get people to more events lies the relentless pursuit of meaningful human connections, which is even more dear to us after the pandemic.

We believe events transcend barriers and connect people meaningfully through shared experiences that entertain, educate, and inspire.

Tikkl is not just a company; it is a passionate movement that propels us towards a future where events are no longer reduced to dull transactions or bound by limitations. Join us and let us redefine what it means to come together and create lasting memories. Prepare to be wowed!

Tikkl is committed to transform the world for eventgoers, one mind-blowing experience at a time, whether in person or virtually. From the moment you see the event announcement to the post-event thank you note.

Through our revolutionary platform, we not only elevate the experience for event attendees, we empower organizers to focus on their event programming and host one successful event after another while we work behind the scenes to make it effortless, sustainable, and worthwhile for them.

Our story is interwoven with the deeply personal journey of our visionary co-founder, Nivi. Born with a retina defect, Nivi has defied vision limitations her entire life to forge her path through engineering education and a technology career. However, her disability makes her still yearn for a fuller event experience as she often struggles to make out blurred objects on stage.

Determined to redefine possibilities, Nivi reinvented Tikkl to add virtual event options with interactive, high-quality streaming that provides a front-row experience like no other — a world where visual acuity and audio brilliance ignite your senses, erasing the confines of distance, time, and circumstance from enjoying your favorite events.
