What is Andrew Wilkinson known for?
Andrew Wilkinson is known for co-founding Tiny (TSX: TINY), a Canadian holding company modeled on Berkshire Hathaway that buys and holds internet businesses for the long term.

How did Andrew Wilkinson make his money?
Wilkinson made his initial money running MetaLab, a design agency he founded at 22 that built early product interfaces for Slack, Coinbase, Apple, and Google. He used MetaLab's cash flow to acquire small profitable software businesses, and rolled them into Tiny — a holding company that now owns Letterboxd, AeroPress, Serato, Dribbble, Creative Market, and others. Tiny went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2023.
What is Tiny?
Tiny is a Canadian holding company that buys, builds, and holds internet businesses indefinitely. It trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker TINY. The company was founded in 2006 by Andrew Wilkinson and Chris Sparling, and is structured loosely on the Berkshire Hathaway model: long-term ownership, no flips, no leveraged buyouts, and minimal interference with portfolio company founders.
What companies does Tiny own?
Tiny owns Letterboxd, AeroPress, Serato, MetaLab, Dribbble, Creative Market, MediaNet, Beam Digital, HFC, Z1 Digital, Meteor, Tiny Mail, Abstract, BeFunky, Girlboss, Mateina, WholesalePet, and Frosty Pop Games, among others. The portfolio spans software, e-commerce, consumer products, and media. Most companies operate independently and retain their original founders or operating teams.
Is Andrew Wilkinson a billionaire?
On paper, briefly. When Tiny went public in 2023, Wilkinson's stake was valued in excess of one billion dollars. The TINY share price has since declined materially from its 2023 peak, and his current paper net worth is below that mark. He has said in interviews and in his book Never Enough that the billionaire label was short-lived and that he doesn't treat it as a useful measure of anything.
Where does Andrew Wilkinson live?
Andrew Wilkinson lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He grew up on Vancouver Island, started MetaLab from his apartment in Victoria, and has based Tiny there since founding the company. The headquarters of Tiny, Folly Partners, and Tiny Foundation are all in Victoria.
What is the Never Enough newsletter?
Never Enough is Andrew Wilkinson's twice-monthly newsletter, sent from neverenough.com to roughly thirty thousand subscribers. It covers business stories, recommendations, expensive mistakes, and the same subject matter as the book — money, work, and what it does to you. It is free, hosted on Kit, and written in a direct first-person voice rather than a corporate or motivational register.
What is Tiny Foundation?
Tiny Foundation is a private foundation Andrew Wilkinson runs with friends. It funds long-form journalism, open science, and a small number of public-interest projects. As of 2026, the foundation has granted approximately sixteen million dollars. It operates separately from Tiny Ltd and is not affiliated with the publicly-traded company.
What is Folly Partners?
Folly Partners is Andrew Wilkinson's personal holding company, distinct from Tiny. It manages his direct investments, real estate, and a small fund that backs founders he chooses individually rather than through an institutional process. Folly is private and does not publish a portfolio or accept inbound deck submissions.
