Raven Management Solutions

What Raven Management Solutions does

Raven Management Solutions Inc. (RMS) is a privately held Canadian professional services firm founded in 2003 by Robert Gallant and headquartered at 699 St. George Blvd., Moncton, New Brunswick. The firm provides event management, association support, business consulting, and project management services to public, private, and voluntary sector clients, with services delivered in English, French, and Spanish. Core offerings span full-service event management (arts festivals, conferences, corporate events, trade shows, tournaments, and virtual events), talent booking through its wholly-owned subsidiary HubCap Promotions, non-profit association management (executive director services, membership services, governance support), and international development consulting (capacity building, NGO infrastructure, revenue stream development).

The firm’s technology stack is composed of commodity professional services tooling rather than proprietary platforms: user-friendly and secure web-based registration databases, online payment processing portals, virtual event broadcast platforms supporting live/pre-recorded/hybrid formats, online auction software, and virtual raffle/50-50 tools. These are deployed to support client engagements rather than offered as standalone SaaS products. RMS also operates HubCap Promotions, a talent agency representing Canadian comedians, musicians, specialty acts, keynote speakers, and MCs, which serves both as a direct revenue stream and an embedded capability within event management engagements.

RMS generates revenue through customized professional service fees under quote-based engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on consultation-based outreach, referrals, and an active website presence. The customer base is concentrated among non-profit associations (trade, professional licensing, arts/cultural), regional construction industry bodies (e.g., CANB-Moncton Northeast representing 300+ businesses), community organizations (Greater Moncton Santa Claus Parade, 100,000+ annual attendees), and government clients (Government of New Brunswick, City of Moncton). The firm operates with 1–10 employees and is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no institutional investment, parent company, or public funding disclosed.
