Koah and Velocity's $47 Million Blind Spot

The Opportunity

TipJar AI is a lightweight monetization SDK for AI-powered Chrome extensions and small web apps. It places one labelled sponsor line beneath an eligible AI response, without ever sending a prompt off-device.

Pricing

• 90-day plan: 20 publishers and 3 sponsors
• Five moats
• Funded network

Network

• 35 million native ad impressions across 175 million queries
• Network reaches over two million monthly actives

Architecture

The architecture is designed for the extension ecosystem, ensuring compliance with Chrome's Limited Use policy and avoiding data transfer to advertising platforms.

Placement

Sponsor lines are generated independently of the answer, rendered in a separate component, labelled plainly, visually subordinate, dismissible, and structurally incapable of altering the model's response.

Compliance

The FTC's native advertising guidance is adhered to, ensuring that commercial content does not mislead people about what it is or who paid for it, and the disclosure is clear inside the format where the ad appears.
