EVENTRISE LTD

What EVENTRISE LTD does

Eventrise is an online event management and ticketing platform that enables independent organizers and small venues to create events, sell tickets, manage attendees, and run mobile check-in. The product targets two primary customer segments: community event organizers running conferences, workshops, festivals, and recurring shows with 50-1,500 attendees, and independent venues such as comedy clubs, theaters, and performing arts centers that require assigned seating across multi-show calendars. Organizers connect their own Stripe accounts, and ticket revenue flows directly to those accounts within approximately 1-2 business days of each sale, with Eventrise collecting a flat 5% platform fee plus a $1 surcharge per reserved-seat ticket where applicable.

The platform is built on a Ruby on Rails (8.0 to 8.1) backend with Node.js services, paired with native iOS and Android mobile apps for organizers and attendees. Differentiating features include a visual seat map editor for assigned seating, an offline-capable QR check-in app, WordPress plugin and iFrame checkout embedding, a public read-access API, role-based permissions across nine predefined roles, and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor perform refunds, check-ins, and report pulls via natural language. Stripe serves as the exclusive payment processor with processing fees passed through at cost, Intercom powers live chat support, and Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager handle site analytics.

Eventrise operates as a fully bootstrapped, founder-owned California LLC that has not raised external capital and explicitly disclaims any exit-driven roadmap. Pricing is purely transactional (5% platform fee, 2.5% promotional fee for verified Eventbrite switchers, $1 reserved-seating add-on), with no subscriptions or tier upgrades; free events are always free. Go-to-market is product-led and community-led, relying on self-serve sign-ups, Product Hunt and launch aggregator listings, content marketing, and word-of-mouth within the organizer community rather than paid acquisition or an enterprise sales motion.

Direct peers

• Dice: Dice is a mobile-first ticketing platform focused on live music, concerts, and club events with strong discovery and fan-engagement features. It competes with Eventrise in the live-event organizer segment, particularly for venues and promoters targeting music audiences with assigned-seating or general-admission events.
• TryBooking: TryBooking is a ticketing platform popular with community events, festivals, and theatres, offering low-cost or free ticketing services. It directly competes with Eventrise in the small-to-mid venue and community organizer segment across multiple geographies.
• Tito: Tito is a developer-friendly ticketing platform popular with design and tech conferences, offering simple pricing and a clean interface. It competes with Eventrise for the same indie conference and meetup organizer customer, particularly those who value aesthetic simplicity and brand-friendly checkout.
• Humanitix: Humanitix is a mission-driven ticketing platform that donates booking fees to education charities, appealing to community organizers who value ethical alternatives. It competes head-to-head with Eventrise in the same community-event-organizer segment with a similar values-driven, indie-friendly positioning.
• Eventbrite: Eventbrite is the dominant consumer-facing ticketing platform and the primary competitor Eventrise explicitly compares against. Both serve the same organizer use case (event creation, ticket sales, attendee management) with similar interfaces and direct-to-organizer distribution, and Eventrise's pricing model is explicitly positioned as a 'switcher' alternative to Eventbrite fees.
• Ticket Tailor: Ticket Tailor is a low-fee ticketing platform targeting independent event organizers with simple pricing and no per-ticket fees on premium tiers. It directly competes with Eventrise in the community-organizer and small-venue segment and overlaps significantly on the 'fair pricing' value proposition.
• Universe (Eventbrite-owned): Universe is a ticketing platform acquired by Eventbrite, targeting independent organizers with branded event pages and simple fee structures. It directly competes with Eventrise in the indie organizer segment and serves as a lower-priced alternative within Eventbrite's own product portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Bizzabo: Bizzabo is a broader event experience platform offering registration, ticketing, and event marketing for mid-market and enterprise conferences. It overlaps with Eventrise on the registration and ticketing capabilities but targets larger events with a sales-led GTM rather than self-serve.
• Hopin: Hopin is an event technology platform offering ticketing, registration, and hybrid/virtual event infrastructure across community, conference, and internal events. It overlaps with Eventrise on the ticketing and event management layer but serves a broader event portfolio including virtual and hybrid formats.
• Eventbrite (compared) - Cvent: Cvent is a large enterprise event management platform providing registration, venue sourcing, and attendee management for corporate meetings and conferences. It is a broad incumbent whose registration technology overlaps with Eventrise but operates at a much larger scale and price point targeting enterprise buyers.
