rami.io GmbH

What rami.io GmbH does

rami.io GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 2013 in Heidelberg by Raphael Michel, operating as a 12-person team. The company began as a generalist software firm offering consulting, contract development, and own products from a single founder, but over the years progressively concentrated its efforts on its proprietary ticketing SaaS, pretix, which it now describes as a complete ticketing solution for events and institutions of all kinds. To sharpen focus, the company discontinued its custom development services and its apps for schools and libraries, transferring the latter to partner firms.

The commercial center of gravity is pretix, a ticketing platform targeted at event organizers and institutional clients, sold under a recurring subscription model. The company's second product, Venueless, is an online conference platform built jointly with two unnamed partners and continues to operate alongside pretix. Distribution occurs primarily through the pretix.eu domain and direct sales to event and venue operators; marketing channels and pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed.

In July 2025, after 12 years, the company announced it will rename itself from rami.io GmbH to pretix GmbH to align its corporate identity with its flagship product, stating the same owner, same team, and same service continuity. The company remains founder-owned, has not disclosed external funding, and operates as a focused niche SaaS vendor in the European event-technology market.
