We just raised a $1.6M pre-seed round! At River Platform Company 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 Blue Wire Capital, Blockwall, Blockchain Founders Capital, very early Ventures, Solana Foundation, LAUNCH 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. So Jason Calacanis suggested we build one. He invested along with Balaji Srinivasan. We’re super proud of how much we built this past year with just a $150k angel round. Our MVP has powered community events for All-In Podcast, My First Million, Tim Ferriss, Bryan Johnson, Dave Asprey, Superteam, Solana Foundation, 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 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. We’re just getting started. Could River help your global community gather IRL? → Tim Ferriss used River to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his podcast by bringing 4k fans together in 150 cities on a single day. → Superteam uses River to host 100+ IRL watch parties during their live stream of the Solana Ecosystem Call every single month. → This Week in Startups uses River to host Founder Fridays jam sessions each month around the world (founders only!) → All-In Podcast had 20+ unofficial side events around All-In Summit in LA and gathers worldwide for milestone episodes using River. More use cases for paid events and paid membership subscriptions coming soon. BACK TO BUILDING 🚀
