What Rentevent does

rentevent GmbH is a German event technology services company founded in April 2002 and headquartered in Bernau bei Berlin. It is a privately held, founder/management-owned GmbH led by managing directors Thomas Beeskow and Markus Horstmann, operating with 18 permanent employees as of 2022. The company provides live event production, broadcasting, streaming, and conference technology services, having delivered more than 10,026 events across five continents since inception and managing a fleet of 25,276+ technical elements and 40+ RF systems, including an EASA-certified helicopter for aerial broadcast capture.

Its core offering combines equipment rental with on-site technical production. The business is structured around four sub-brands: rentevent.live for live event production, rentevent.tv for broadcasting and streaming, rentevent.digital for digital and hybrid event tooling (including a voting platform integrated with partner Linkando), and rentevent.planung & service for planning and operational services. Tier-1 broadcast engagements have included UEFA Champions League 2025 (with TVN LIVE PRODUCTION), the Solheim Cup (with U.COM Media), and other major international sports and entertainment productions, alongside recurring corporate and political clients such as Berliner Sparkasse and SPD Wirtschaftsforum.

The revenue model is project-based, monetizing a combination of equipment rental, technical crew deployment, and broadcast services delivered to a mix of broadcast partners, enterprise clients, and public-sector event organizers. Growth has been internally funded with no external venture or private equity investment, supported by headcount expansion from 10 employees in 2017 to 18 in 2022 and a 2023 facility expansion to a 300 sqm office and 1,000 sqm warehouse.
