The Event Industry: A Massive Opportunity for Innovation
According to Statista, the global events industry represents a multi-billion dollar market, valued at $887 billion in 2020 (estimated to be $2.19 trillion by 2028), while the event ticketing segment alone reached $71.4 billion in 2023. With a projected annual growth rate of 6.6%, the demand for streamlined and innovative event management solutions is undeniable. This growth is driven by great artists producing quality music, and a post-pandemic resurgence in people's desire for shared experiences. Humans are social beings, and events fulfill that inner desire for belonging and connection.

Outdated Solutions & Organizer Pain Points
Current event management platforms center primarily on ticketing, and several key pain points persist for event organizers:
- Fraudulent Tickets: Counterfeit tickets cause revenue loss and damage an event's reputation. Riskified estimates this cost to exceed $10 billion in the US alone.
- Limited Marketing Tools: Organizers lack integrated tools for audience outreach and promotions.
- Poor Data & Insights: Platforms offer minimal analytics to help organizers optimize strategies.
- Delayed Payments: Holding funds until post-event creates significant cash flow problems for organizers.
- High Fees & Frustrating User Experiences: Customers resent excessive fees, and system crashes leave a negative impression erroneously attributed to the event organizer.
- Outdated Legacy Technology: Ticketing companies often rely on outdated legacy technology, resulting in frustrating long wait times when trying to buy tickets, which frequently fail. Additionally, these companies have experienced issues with scanning attendees into events due to technology failures, further inconveniencing both organizers and attendees.
