Lumaverse Technologies

What Lumaverse Technologies does

Lumaverse Technologies is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based private software company, founded in 2020, operating primarily through its SignUpGenius brand (legal entity SignUpGenius Inc.). The company runs a cloud-based SaaS platform that enables organizers to create online sign-ups, collect payments, run fundraisers, manage dues and fees, sell through online stores, issue event tickets, and run auctions. Underlying technology is a multi-tenant web platform with an integrated payment processing layer and a public developer API (developer.signupgenius.com); feature differentiation centers on ease of use and breadth of vertical workflows rather than technical complexity. The company has extended its footprint through acquisitions of eight vertical SaaS brands — Membership Toolkit, LearningStream, ClubExpress, TimeTap, Fair Entry, GoSignMeUp, Run My Village, and AuctionFrogs — which now operate as retained brands within the SignUpGenius family.

The business model combines a freemium, product-led growth motion (self-serve sign-ups and event creation via the web) with an Enterprise tier indicating field-sales engagement for larger accounts. Revenue is generated from SaaS subscription tiers and transaction/payment processing fees applied to fundraisers, ticket sales, auction payments, and dues collection. Customer segmentation is vertical-driven, with primary verticals being K-12 schools, nonprofits, and community groups, supplemented by clubs, associations, and member-based organizations. Distribution is globally accessible via web self-serve, supported by content marketing, SEO, and word-of-mouth. The company is led by CEO Mike Barros alongside a full executive team (CCO, CFO, CPO, CGO, CTO) plus a Strategic Advisor, with a current headcount of 51-100 employees. No public funding rounds, revenue figures, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source data.

Core offering

Lumaverse Technologies, through its SignUpGenius brand, provides a cloud-based volunteer and event management SaaS platform that lets organizers create online sign-ups, collect payments and dues, run fundraisers, sell event tickets and merchandise via online stores, and manage auctions. The offering targets schools, nonprofits, community groups, clubs, and other member-based organizations, and is delivered alongside an integrated family of acquired specialty brands covering membership, learning, club, appointment, and registration management.

Product overview

SignUpGenius is a platform-plus-modules suite of organizational tools that evolved from its original online sign-up scheduling feature into a comprehensive suite of seven interconnected products. The core offerings include Sign Ups (the foundational scheduling and volunteer management tool), Payments (for collecting fees and registrations), Fundraisers (for donation campaigns), Dues & Fees (for recurring membership collections), Online Stores (e-commerce functionality), Tickets (event ticketing), and Auctions (auction management). The platform connects communities and helps organizers manage everything from scheduling volunteers to selling tickets, raising funds, and running auctions.
