• Tunisian startup Tuniform launched in 2023 to help content creators generate online revenue.

• Founder Yacine Aridhi positioned the platform as a regional alternative to global creator networks.

• Tuniform allows creators to keep all earnings while targeting local currencies, regulations, and payment realities.

Tuniform operates as a digital solution developed by a Tunisian startup. The platform connects content creators with their communities while offering monetization tools tailored to local talent. The startup operates from the city of Tabarka. Yacine Aridhi founded the company in 2023.

“The platform addresses the lack of accessible and user-friendly solutions for creators in the region by offering a smooth and culturally relevant experience,” the startup said. It added, “With the ambition to become the leading monetization platform for creators in Tunisia, the MENA region and Africa, Tuniform is building the digital infrastructure of the next generation of the creator economy in emerging markets.”

Tuniform positions itself as a regional alternative to major global networks. The platform emphasizes creativity, engagement, and creator autonomy. Users register easily through a secure interface using a Google account or an email address. Creators then build personalized spaces to share content with subscribers.

Direct support between fans and creators forms the core of Tuniform’s model. Users subscribe to their preferred creators to unlock exclusive content. Creators offer posts, guides, e-books, and other digital formats. This structure strengthens direct and meaningful relationships between creators and audiences.

“Existing social networks focus on content distribution and visibility but make monetization inaccessible or indirect,” Aridhi said. “Global monetization platforms exist, but they are not designed for local currencies, local markets, local regulations or local payment realities.”

On Tuniform, creators retain all their earnings without hidden fees or significant intermediary commissions. The platform reflects the culture and aspirations of Generation Z in Tunisia and the MENA region. Tuniform combines content discovery, community engagement, and creator revenue. The platform builds a social ecosystem adapted to current digital challenges.
