What Togather does

Togather, legally Karamu Limited, is a UK-based online marketplace founded in 2014 that connects event organizers with a curated network of more than 1,500 vetted food, drink, and venue suppliers. The platform operates across five primary service categories: venue hire, street food and catering, corporate catering, mobile bars, and event photography, with a dedicated Togather Live product line serving music festivals and large-scale live events. Headquartered in London, Togather also maintains 200+ exclusive venue partnerships where it manages full F&B operations, and serves enterprise clients including Pride in London, KOKO, Live Nation, RIAT, LIV Golf UK, and Windsor Great Park Illuminated alongside a long tail of SMB and individual event organizers.

The platform's core technology is a web-based enquiry and matching system where event organizers submit event details and receive tailored quotes from matched suppliers, with the company holding payment in escrow until event completion. Togather monetizes through a dual revenue model: marketplace commissions on facilitated bookings and recurring subscription/premium listing fees from suppliers. Distribution is predominantly organic and SEO-driven across an extensive category page footprint, supplemented by a sales-led enterprise motion supported by dedicated account managers. The platform reports 90,000+ annual event enquiries, 10,000+ bookings delivered over the past decade, 500,000+ event organizers supported, and 30 million people served at live events annually.

Togather has raised approximately $24 million across six funding rounds from 2017 to 2023, with the most recent $9.2M round in May 2023 led by UNTITLED alongside Best Nights VC, Fuel Ventures, and Material Ventures. The company operates with a small team (1-10 employees per firmographic data) and is led by co-founder and CEO Digby Vollrath alongside co-founder Hugo Campbell, commercial director George Simpson, investor director Lucas London, and head of growth Curran Dye. The business is UK-only with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond England, and growth is concentrated in deepening vertical coverage (live events) and horizontal category expansion (photography, bars, staff hire) rather than geographic diversification.
