An Innovative Fintech Startup Seeking Funding in Kozhikode

An innovative fintech startup is seeking seed funding of ₹50 lakhs in exchange for 20% equity to transform the tipping ecosystem for India's rapidly growing cashless hospitality sector. The platform enables customers to seamlessly tip service staff through UPI without requiring any app download, while automatically distributing gratuities among active shift employees. It also rewards customers with instant promotional offers, creating higher engagement and repeat usage. The startup addresses a significant challenge faced by hospitality workers, who have experienced declining tip income due to the widespread adoption of digital payments and restrictions on mandatory service charges. Its scalable business model generates revenue through a small platform fee deducted from the tip pool and a brand advertising network that delivers targeted offers after successful transactions. With a ready MVP, planned pilot deployments in premium hospitality outlets, and a clear roadmap for regional and nationwide expansion, the company aims to build a comprehensive financial ecosystem for India's hospitality workforce while creating long-term value for investors.
