TAKING THE “ICK” OUT OF TICKETING

We believe no one should be left out of the performance economy because the cost is too great or the technology too confounding. We think most ticketing platforms for independent shows are too complicated. And we’re tired of seeing big corporate middle-agents muck up the process for everyone. So we’re building tools that can empower more people to create, produce, present, and attend live shows — and enjoy a richer life because of it.

We’re focused on building simple, streamlined solutions that avoid fees, promote collaboration, and scale as artists’ careers grow. We use technology, creativity, and common sense to provide easy, seamless, affordable event management for all.

Josh

CEO + Founder
Playwright + Director

Josh has been active in the performing arts for over 20 years as an actor, designer, writer, director, and venue operator. All the while, he’s made a living designing and developing consumer-grade software with a focus on usability and driving results for clients.

He’s a firm believer in the value of making and consuming art of all forms, and the importance of empowering artistic communities.

I’ve been selling tickets for 20 years and was never happy with the tools available. So I decided to do something about it.

TATE

Head of Product + Co-Founder
Art Nerd + Ex Roller Derby Athlete

As a former roller derby athlete, Tate has learned the fine art of staying upright while barreling through chaos—and, occasionally, the fine art of falling.

Navigating the rink taught her a lot about teamwork, adaptability, and keeping your cool. Now, as a creative leader with over 20 years under her belt, Tate brings that same energy to the workplace. She’s all about building collaborative spaces where ideas thrive, teams gel, and big problems get solved with creativity and care.

I want to empower creative folks with innovative ways to express themselves.

JAMES

Minister of Information + Co-Founder
Musician + Writer + Tour Manager

James has logged experience on many avenues and side streets of the performing arts, including years of work as a musician, voice actor, tour manager, guerrilla gig promoter, and writer-for-hire.

He’s also been a member of agency creative teams seeking to help businesses do right by the audiences they serve. He believes making and consuming art together is a failsafe way to help humans of all kinds stay connected, curious, and compassionate.

Technology should make it easier for artists, presenters, and audiences to have great experiences together. From several angles, I’ve seen it have the opposite effect — especially when it comes to ticketing.
