ELODIS

What ELODIS does

ELODIS Media GmbH is a Leipzig-based software platform that enables event organizers and location operators in Germany to publish, manage, and promote their events and venues through a single self-serve account. The platform distributes a single listing simultaneously to the PRINZ city magazine network (18 German cities, 1M+ monthly visitors), the urbanite lifestyle portal (Leipzig and Berlin), DB Regio's Zugportal, leipzig.travel, and Leipzigartig, removing the need for organizers to maintain parallel presences across multiple city portals. ELODIS operates organizationally as part of PRINZ Medienhaus and was co-founded by Alexander Richter (CEO of PRINZ Medienhaus) and Steffen Heyde (CMO), with the company founded in 2022.

The platform's product surface consists of two primary subscription tiers — an Event Organizer plan at 59 EUR/year and a Location Operator plan at 119 EUR for the first year and 59 EUR/year thereafter, both subject to a 60 EUR one-time registration fee — plus add-on promotional placements on PRINZ and urbanite homepages and as daily tips. Core functionality includes structured event and location profiles, photo and opening-hours management, social media linking, menu-card integration via speisekarte.de, and ticket-link management either via the user's own Ticket-ID or through partner ticketing providers Connfair GmbH and Maturitas B. GmbH. A single account can manage up to five locations, and the product is built around product-led growth with direct self-serve registration at app.elodis.de.

ELODIS generates revenue exclusively from subscriptions and optional promotion fees, targets the German SMB market across 18 cities, and is supported by a team of 1-10 employees. The company has no disclosed external funding and is not independent of its parent media group, which both constrains its standalone equity narrative and provides embedded distribution that an independent competitor would struggle to replicate.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Meetup: Community-driven event discovery and RSVP platform. Comparable to ELODIS in the SMB/organizer self-serve model and event discovery use case, though Meetup emphasizes recurring groups rather than one-off ticketed events.
• Eventbrite: Global event ticketing and management platform serving SMB organizers with self-serve event creation, promotion, and ticket sales. Directly comparable to ELODIS's event organizer offering, but operating at vastly greater scale and with first-party ticketing.
• Tito: Simple, modern event ticketing and registration platform popular with conferences and SMBs. Comparable to ELODIS on self-serve organizer onboarding and pricing simplicity for SMBs.
• Pretix: European (German-origin) open-source ticketing platform for SMB event organizers, offering self-serve event creation and ticket sales. Comparable to ELODIS on organizer tooling, with stronger ticketing economics but without ELODIS's multi-portal distribution.
• TicketTailor: Self-serve event ticketing SaaS targeting community organizers and SMBs across Europe. Comparable to ELODIS in the event-organizer subscription model and self-serve onboarding flow.

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Enterprise event management suite covering registration, marketing, and on-site logistics for corporate and association events. Comparable to ELODIS's all-in-one event management positioning but serving larger customers and a different price tier.
• Bizzabo: Event experience platform for mid-market and enterprise organizers, with registration, marketing, and analytics capabilities. Comparable to ELODIS's event management ambitions at a higher complexity and price point.

Regional players

• XING Events (now part of Bizzabo): DACH-focused event management platform originally from XING, now part of Bizzabo. Comparable as a regional incumbent in the German-speaking event management market.
• Reservix: Leading German ticketing platform and event distribution network, connecting organizers to multiple portals and ticket outlets. Closest German-market peer to ELODIS in combining ticketing with multi-portal distribution.

Emerging players

• Eventimize: Mobile event app and management platform for SMBs and associations. Comparable as an emerging self-serve event management tool targeting the same organizer profile as ELODIS, though focused on attendee engagement rather than distribution.
