01
Real-demand verdict
Promoters and venues pay a flat fee per ticket sold, delivered as SaaS; the platform also runs online sales, box office and access control.
Promoters outsourcing ticketing to large incumbents and losing control of their brand and customer data.
02
Where the first customers came from
Reached prospects online, offered a live demo, and closed several deals without any in-person meeting.
03
Tactics you can copy
- 01Grant territory exclusivity to partners in exchange for them switching off their old ticketing software.
- 02Use online demos instead of field sales and let the product close deals early on.
- 03Outsource marketing and support to country partners while keeping product core in-house.
- 04Charge a flat fee per ticket rather than a subscription, so revenue scales with client volume.
Moving it to an AI business
For AI businesses: ship white-label so clients keep their own brand, and price per unit of usage (per ticket, per call) rather than a flat subscription so revenue grows with client volume; trading regional exclusivity for migration is a copyable cold-start move.

What evidence is missing
The $100K monthly turnover and 4M annual tickets are founder self-reported and unaudited; the source page shows no verification method.
The exact per-ticket fee is not disclosed, so unit economics cannot be checked.
Revenue split across the 13 countries, retention and churn are all missing.
