Eventbrite

Eventbrite is the world’s largest, fastest growing event ticketing company. Eventbrite empowers anyone to host successful live experiences of any type or size by providing an easy way to manage, promote and sell out the event. As the engine for a new generation of live experiences, Eventbrite brings together transactions with social interactions to allow events to live, flourish and gain momentum anywhere online. Eventbrite focuses on empowering live experiences by providing a simple-to-use service that makes it easy for organizers to publish, promote and sell out events, and gives consumers a new way to discover events. Most recently, the company launched social event discovery, an effective and meaningful way to discover events which tightly integrates Eventbrite’s massive database of events with an individual’s personal social graph. This new “event graph” drives social event discovery and helps friends connect around live experiences by using the Facebook Connect APIs to let Eventbrite users share their upcoming events with their real world friends. Eventbrite is privately held and backed by Sequoia Capital.
