What HOOZIN does

Hoozin Technology, Inc. operates HOOZIN, a free mobile application available on iOS and Android that functions as a self-serve, all-in-one group event management platform. The app enables individual users, amateur sports teams, fraternities/sororities, social/affinity groups, and charitable organizations to create events, build guest lists, send invitations via SMS and in-app notifications, track RSVPs in real time, and communicate inside per-event chat threads. A FOMO-driven notification system is used to accelerate RSVP turnaround. For paid events, the app integrates PayPal as the payment processor so organizers collect participation fees at the moment tickets are claimed. The company also offers a separate ticket sharing and reselling module that allows users to distribute unused or excess tickets within their personal network at lower fees than incumbent resale platforms, with first-come, first-served claiming logic.

The platform is built as a mobile-first product supported on iOS (iPhone 8 and newer) and Android (Pixel 6 and newer), with no web app, API, or SDK publicly disclosed. Distribution is purely consumer-direct via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with marketing presence on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. The only third-party integration disclosed is PayPal for payments — there is no evidence of additional CRM, marketing automation, calendar, or social platform integrations. The product surface has been expanded into multiple vertical-specific sub-products (Amateur Sports Team Management, Affinity and Social Group Activities, Party Invite, Event Scheduling, Ticket Sharing & Reselling) that share the same underlying app but are marketed as distinct use cases.

Hoozin monetizes through two streams: transaction fees on paid events processed via PayPal, and a two-tier commission-based ambassador referral program in which individuals, influencers, celebrities, and organizations earn commissions when referred users organize or attend paid events. Pricing tiers and fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, founded in 2022, headquartered in Los Angeles, operates with 1–10 employees, and shows no evidence of external funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity in the source data — suggesting founder-owned or bootstrapped operations to date.

Revenue model

1. Transaction Fees from Paid Events: Hoozin generates revenue by facilitating paid event registrations through its platform. Organizers collect participation fees via integrated PayPal payments, with Hoozin earning a transaction cut from the process. The platform specifically highlights lower fees compared to other ticket resale platforms.
2. Ambassador Referral Commissions: A two-tier commission-based referral system where ambassadors earn commissions when their referred users organize or attend paid events. Tier 1 earns commission on primary referrals; Tier 2 earns smaller commissions on secondary referrals made by their direct referrals.

Direct peers

• Evite: Long-standing consumer event invitation and RSVP platform for parties and social gatherings. Directly comparable on the party-invite, RSVP, and guest-list workflows that constitute a core Hoozin use case.
• Meetup: Group event coordination platform focused on recurring community meetups. Highly comparable on the social/affinity group and amateur sports use cases Hoozin targets, with similar RSVP and group-management functionality.
• RSVPify: Dedicated online RSVP and event management platform for parties, weddings, and group events. Comparable on RSVP tracking, guest list management, and payment collection for group events.
• Splash: Event marketing and RSVP platform focused on branded events. Comparable on the event creation, RSVP tracking, and guest communication layers of Hoozin's offering, though skewed toward marketing-led events.
• Eventbrite: Leading consumer event creation, RSVP, and ticketing platform. Directly comparable to Hoozin on paid event transactions, RSVP workflows, and organizer-facing tools, though Eventbrite is much larger and operates a web-first model with a fee-based ticketing business.
• Luma: Event management platform combining RSVP workflows, ticketing, and community calendars. Directly comparable on RSVP management, paid event handling, and organizer-facing tooling across consumer and prosumer event use cases.
• Partiful: Mobile-first social event invitation app popular with younger demographics. Comparable as a consumer-first event invitation and RSVP platform targeting similar social/affinity group use cases with a viral, design-led UX approach.

Broad incumbents

• StubHub: Large incumbent in ticket resale. Comparable on the ticket-sharing/reselling use case Hoozin targets, but operates at vastly larger scale with significantly higher fees — the gap Hoozin explicitly markets against.
• GroupMe: Group chat app owned by Microsoft, widely used for coordinating group events. Adjacent on the group communication and event coordination layer that Hoozin addresses via event-specific chat threads.
• Ticketmaster: Dominant primary ticketing platform for live events. Adjacent on the paid-event/ticket transaction layer of Hoozin's business, though it controls venue-direct inventory rather than user-driven sharing/resale.
