Evand

What Evand does

Evand (ایوند) is a privately held Iranian event management and ticketing platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tehran. The company operates a web-based, self-serve product that allows event organizers to create, promote, and sell tickets for both online webinars and in-person events, while enabling attendees to discover events through category, city, date, and price filters. The platform spans 12+ Iranian cities including Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Tabriz, Shiraz, Karaj, Qom, Arak, Ghods, Ahvaz, Yazd, and Shahroud, and supports both Persian-language interfaces and domestic messaging integrations (Telegram, Bale, Eitaa). Core products include the main Evand Platform, an Events discovery module, an Organizations profile system, and a Tix quick-retrieval service accessed via mobile number or email.

The platform serves two primary customer segments: event organizers (professionals, companies, universities, training institutes, and community organizers) who need integrated ticketing, promotion, and attendee management, and individual attendees seeking to discover and register for educational, professional, and cultural events. Evand's business model is transaction-based: it charges event organizers a platform fee or commission on tickets sold through the platform, with ticket prices ranging from free events to several million tomans. Distribution is driven by self-serve onboarding, content marketing through blog.evand.com, university partnerships with Sharif, Amir Kabir, Tehran, and Shahid Beheshti, and social channels on Iranian messaging platforms.

Evand's market position rests on a long-tail organizer base (3,596+ organizer pages) and a broad event catalog (43+ pages of events), with anchor customers including Rahnama-ye Bartar Collection (161 events, 3,022 followers), CS50xTehran (Harvard programming and AI courses), Shahid Beheshti University's Specialized Training Center, Pishgaman Rastaak International Group, and Abrha technology community. The company is led by cofounder and CEO Hamidreza Ahmadi, operates with 11–50 employees, and has no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or public API. Its strategic exposure is concentrated entirely in the Iranian domestic market, with no stated international expansion.

Direct peers

• Tito: Simple, self-serve event ticketing platform with a clean organizer UX. Comparable to Evand's lightweight, self-serve positioning for small and mid-sized event organizers.
• Eventzilla: Self-serve event registration and ticketing platform serving a global SMB and mid-market organizer base. Closely mirrors Evand's self-serve PLG motion and broad category coverage (webinars, conferences, classes).
• Ticket Tailor: Self-serve event ticketing platform serving organizers of all sizes. Closely comparable to Evand in product surface area (event creation, ticket sales, attendee management) and PLG distribution.
• Eventbrite: Global self-serve event ticketing and discovery marketplace. Operates the same PLG/transaction-fee model as Evand, but at global scale, making it the most direct functional peer.
• Humanitix: Ticketing and events platform competing head-to-head with Eventbrite and peers in the self-serve event space. Comparable to Evand on PLG motion, organizer tooling, and category breadth (concerts, conferences, community).

Regional players

• Peatix: Asia-Pacific event discovery and ticketing platform with strong presence in Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. Comparable to Evand on the discovery-plus-ticketing marketplace model, though focused on East Asia rather than the Middle East.
• Ti8: Iranian event listing and ticketing platform operating in the same local market as Evand. Directly comparable in target market and product surface, competing for the same Iranian event-organizer base.
• Billeto: European event ticketing and discovery platform serving primarily Northern Europe. Comparable to Evand in product scope (self-serve ticketing, event discovery) and target audience (small/mid organizers), but with a regional rather than global footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Bizzabo: Enterprise-grade event experience platform with ticketing, registration, and on-site tools. Overlaps with Evand in the events/registration layer but is geared toward larger B2B events and offers a broader SaaS suite.
• Universe (by Ticketmaster): Self-serve ticketing platform owned by Live Nation/Ticketmaster. Targets the same organizer segment as Evand but sits inside a much larger ticketing incumbent, offering overlapping features plus cross-promotion from Ticketmaster inventory.
