Eventup operates a marketplace for event venues and currently lists over 3,000 locations across Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Chicago. The platform covers traditional and nontraditional spaces—banquet halls, galleries, warehouses, lofts, homes and large estates. Eventup monetizes by taking a 10% cut of each transaction. CEO Tony Adam says corporate events have driven larger booking volume than expected, and the company plans to expand nationwide. The startup will use the funding to build a sales team to tap the $260+ billion corporate events market and intends to add ancillary services such as DJs, florists and photographers by the end of the year. Eventup positions itself as a streamlined discovery process that compresses weeks of venue research into minutes.
