Stop Spending Money on Mismatched Events

75% of vendors lose money on at least 1 of their last 5 markets due to poor event selection. We help you avoid costly mistakes with AI matching and community transparency.

The Old Way

  • • Guessing which events match your business
  • • No insight into event quality or organizer reliability
  • • Paying booth fees upfront with no guarantees
  • • Learning about bad events only after it's too late
