THE TEAM

Eventbrite is a global self-service ticketing and experience technology platform that serves a community of hundreds of thousands of event creators in nearly 180 countries every year. Since its inception Eventbrite has been at the center of the experience economy transforming the way people organize and attend events. The company was founded by Julia Hartz Kevin Hartz and Renaud Visage with a vision to build a self-service platform that would make it possible for anyone to create and sell tickets to live experiences. The Eventbrite platform provides an intuitive secure and reliable service that enables creators (aka event planners) to plan and execute their live and online events whether it’s an annual culinary festival attracting thousands of foodies a professional webinar a weekly yoga workshop or a youth dance class. Creators have been the central focus for Eventbrite with over 200 million tickets distributed to more than 4 million experiences last year Eventbrite is where people all over the world discover new things to do or new ways to do more of what they love.  In March 2020 Eventbrite went from 14 years of compounded growth to negative revenue in just 14 days. As Julia Hartz puts it “ it was a crucible moment for us to say the least.” EB saw this as an opportunity to examine its past and re-think core long-term choices about who we serve what makes us unique and how Eventbrite can win in the marketplace. A focused three year strategy was developed as follows: 2021 build creator confidence by providing an intuitive self-service toolset for creators to manage their events 2022 build a suite of marketing tools that leverage Eventbrite’s scale and data to empower creators to more effectively run their marketing and promotion and in 2023 winning consumer choice as a destination to seek out live experiences and in turn fuel creator growth through captive demand. As we embark on the next 3 years we aspire to become the indispensable marketplace for live experiences putting consumers at the forefront of our business.
