IN A NUTSHELL
If you've a+ended an event or conference in the last 4 years, the chances
are, you've already experienced evvnt .
With 20,000 clients in 130 countries, the evvnt pla?orm is used to market
100,000 events each year and generates £1m in revenue - one third of it
by subscripFon.
Having raised £800,000 in seed funding, we've grown organically for the
last 18 months. We've been profitable since June and we're up 53%* on
this Fme last year.
We're now raising growth capital to accelerate. We will convert exisFng
business to recurring revenue and target the remaining 4.4 billion events
that are listed globally each year. With just 0.1% market share, we'll turn
over more than £100m per annum.
