Posh: The Events Marketplace Platform Born in a College Dorm Room
Are you tired of scrolling through endless online events and missing out on real-life connections? Look no further than Posh, the events marketplace platform that is revolutionizing the way we socialize and build community.
Founded by Eli Taylor-Lemire and Avante Price in their college dorm room at New York University, Posh started as a project to help college students in NYC connect and have fun. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the founders had to pivot from an event company to a software company to adapt to the changing times.
Since its relaunch in Miami in October 2020, Posh has grown exponentially and now competes with other event tech giants like Eventbrite and Partiful. With over 5,000 events listed on the app last month, Posh is making waves in the industry.
The recent announcement of Posh raising a $22 million Series A round led by Goodwater Capital is a testament to the platform’s potential. Goodwater Capital’s belief in the power of in-person connections aligns perfectly with Posh’s mission to help people find belonging and combat loneliness.
With a focus on creating a TikTok-like feed for IRL events, Posh is taking social networking to a whole new level. By syncing your contacts to the app and sorting your feed based on your friends’ event attendance, Posh is bridging the gap between online recommendations and real-life experiences.
In addition, Posh is working with content creators to bring their online communities into the real world, creating new revenue streams for creators and fostering deeper connections with their fans. With a revenue model that takes a 10% cut and an additional 99 cents per ticket transaction, Posh is set to disrupt the event tech industry.
As Posh continues to grow and expand, the company’s focus on creating IRL experiences and lowering the barrier to making plans is sure to resonate with users looking for meaningful connections in a digital world. With its latest funding, Posh is poised to revolutionize the way we socialize and connect with others.
So why wait? Join the Posh community today and start making real-life connections that last a lifetime.
