Orpheo

What Orpheo does

Orpheo (orfheo.org) is a cloud-based cultural community platform that connects three participant types: individual artists and collectives, cultural spaces and venues, and event organizers. The platform operates as a persistent community hub in addition to providing transactional event management functionality, allowing users to maintain profiles, discover creative proposals, list cultural spaces, and find events across multiple geographies. The primary commercial product is e-Manager, a subscription event management tool priced at EUR 59.90 per month (billed from the opening of an open call until the end of an event). e-Manager enables organizers to launch online open calls with multi-language forms, collect and filter unlimited artist proposals, build synchronized programs collaboratively with their team, and publish interactive programs with dedicated event pages and mobile app functionality. The core technology stack relies on cloud infrastructure with Cloudinary handling multimedia content storage, real-time API integration for external application synchronization, and multi-language support delivered in Spanish, Valencian, and English.

Orpheo's business model combines a recurring SaaS subscription (e-Manager) with two add-on revenue streams: an API service for real-time data synchronization to external web and mobile applications, and a Counseling professional services offering for project preparation guidance. Distribution is hybrid, with a self-serve registration path for artists, collectives, and cultural spaces creating profiles without sales interaction, paired with direct, contact-based sales for e-Manager subscriptions and add-ons (including a free trial option). The platform operates primarily in the European cultural sector with operational presence in Valencia, Spain, and serves a globally distributed user base across Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, Colombia, Argentina, Hong Kong, and Iran. The company also runs the conFusión festival series in Valencia as both a community showcase and a demonstration of its event management capabilities, with documented annual editions spanning 2016 through 2026. No ownership, funding, management team, or revenue disclosures are present in the available source material, and the company appears to operate as an independent private entity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Enterprise-grade event management platform for corporate meetings and conferences. Serves as a broad incumbent in the event-tech category where Orpheo operates as a specialized cultural-vertical alternative.
• Eventbrite: Mass-market self-serve event ticketing and management platform. Orpheo competes for the same cultural event organizer wallet but at a much smaller scale and with deeper community/discovery features tailored to artistic events.

Emerging players

• Hopin: Virtual and hybrid events platform offering event apps and registration. Shares Orpheo's emphasis on an event-as-app model but focuses on online/hybrid rather than community-rooted cultural programming.
• Bizzabo: Event experience platform for conferences and corporate events. Orpheo overlaps in event program building and attendee apps but addresses cultural festivals rather than enterprise conferences.
• Whova: Event management platform with strong agenda, networking, and mobile-app features. Overlaps with Orpheo's interactive program publishing and event-app functionality, though Whova targets conferences and associations.

Direct peers

• Spektrix: UK-based ticketing, CRM, and marketing platform for arts and cultural organizations. Targets the same cultural-vertical SaaS buyer as Orpheo with a more mature feature set for box office and audience engagement.
• Artsy: Online art world platform connecting collectors, galleries, and artists. Orpheo parallels Artsy's role of bringing the art ecosystem together online, but focuses on event-based engagement and performing arts rather than art commerce.
• Tessitura Network: CRM and ticketing platform built for performing arts and cultural organizations. Both serve cultural venues and event organizers with software tools that manage audience, program, and operational workflows.
• Artlogic: Cloud-based business management software for galleries and art organizations. Orpheo overlaps as software infrastructure for the art world, but emphasizes event programs and proposals rather than inventory and sales.

Regional players

• PatronBase: Ticketing and CRM system for theaters, arts centers, and venues, primarily in the UK and Australasia. Comparable as a SaaS layer for cultural event organizers managing programs and audiences.
