Tixel, a privately owned German company founded in 2009, offers software solutions for data transfer. Employing approximately 10 people, the company focuses on accelerating data movement in business-to-business and enterprise settings, encompassing point-to-point transfers, cloud services, and large-scale data workflows. In 2023, Tixel's revenue was less than $1 million.
Tixel's internal forecasting model, based on a large spreadsheet, experienced issues with scalability and frequent crashes due to its complexity. On an unrelated note, information from over 60 Australian businesses, including Tixel, was reportedly being sold on online marketplaces. A Tixel and Bolster report, released on an unspecified date, indicated that 72% of respondents would attend events despite higher ticket prices. Another Tixel study revealed that 50% of 18–24-year-olds in the UK admitted to missing work to attend live events. A fourth annual Ticketing State of Play: Australia report, produced in partnership with Bolster, showed a changing ticketing market influenced by economic pressures and evolving consumer expectations.
