Founded in 2025 by Ahmed Abdalla and Hussein ElBendak, KNOT Technologies has built an AI-driven system that authenticates attendee identities, monitors real-time demand, and manages ticket distribution to curb unauthorized resale. The London-headquartered company, which also operates in Egypt, serves more than 50 enterprise customers across the live events ecosystem. Its platform aims to give organizers full visibility into demand and maintain transparent relationships with attendees while preventing fraud and revenue leakage. KNOT’s technology integrates identity verification, distribution control, and data analytics in a single solution. With its recent capital infusion, the startup plans to accelerate product development, forge deeper integrations with ecosystem partners, and expand internationally. Although still at the pre-revenue or early-revenue stage, the company’s customer base provides initial validation of product-market fit. The founders envision redefining how identity, distribution, and value flow through the global live events industry.
