Founded just one month ago by entrepreneur Gunther Ghysels, Tinrate offers a platform that lets experts across niches—from solicitors and tax specialists to wine or travel aficionados—sell advice via one-to-one video sessions. Users create a free profile and embed Tinrate links across their website, email, LinkedIn, TikTok, or Instagram, while the service handles scheduling, payment, invoicing, and feedback. The startup positions itself as an “OnlyFans for knowledge,” aiming to normalize paying for everyday expertise in the same way legal advice is billed. More than 1,000 professionals have already registered on the platform, validating early demand. Tinrate plans to introduce sector-specific search functionality to help users find specialists quickly and to broaden its roster to additional knowledge professions. Founder Ghysels views Tinrate as complementary to AI tools like ChatGPT, emphasizing real-world experience over generic answers. The company is currently pre-revenue and will deploy its new capital to accelerate product development, user acquisition, and international rollout.
