We raised a $1.6M pre-seed round!
At
@getriver_io we're building an events platform for global brands to let members from their community host on their behalf.
We're thrilled to partner with
@bwcvc,
@blockwall_vc,
@BFC_VC,
@LAUNCH,
@veryearlyxyz, and
@SolanaFndn for our pre-seed round.
15 months ago I had an insight while building community for The All-In Podcast. I couldn’t find an event platform that would let fans host their own events without data sharing issues and tons of work for me as the organizer.
So
@Jason suggested we build one. He invested an angle check along with
@balajis .
We’re super proud of how much we built this past year with just $150k. Our MVP has powered community events for
@theallinpod ,
@myfirstmilpod,
@tferriss,
@bryan_johnson,
@daveasprey,
@superteam,
@SolanaFndn,
@DeGodsNFT, and more.
We’ve already had over 2,000 events, produced by 3,000 crowd-sourced hosts with 55k attendees.
These community events have happened in over 150 cities around the world.
All with a *tiny fraction* of the planning effort of other event platforms because River lets the COMMUNITY produce the events.
We’re so excited to build IRL community at a massive scale in a way that’s never been done before and we’d love to have you follow along.
Could River help your community?
