When millions of people depend on a product, there's nowhere to hide 👁️
I recently stepped in to lead Eventbrite as part of the company's acquisition by Bending Spoons, which closed in early March. Since then, we've been busy studying the business inside and out. Parsing the data, examining the support queue, and speaking with hundreds of creators who use the platform every day. All to unlock Eventbrite's full potential as a best-in-class events platform, with the ticketing, event management, and discovery tools creators can rely on to fill the room again and again.
In shaping Eventbrite's future, we’ve made the difficult decision to part ways with several members of the team. This wasn't taken lightly, and doesn't reflect on the work they've put in. Their passion and dedication have made Eventbrite what it is today, and I’m deeply grateful for their contributions.
This change reflects a move toward a leaner team, one positioned to move quickly and deliver meaningful improvements to the product for creators and attendees. Bending Spoons team members are now joining to accelerate product development, and our commitment to creator support remains as strong as ever. We’ve already embedded some of our best engineers and designers into the product and have begun shipping improvements. This is just April, and we have no plans to slow down.
We're already at work on five core pillars—reliability, creator tools, event reach and discovery, ticketing experience, and checkout—with 12 new capabilities and improvements live as of the beginning of April, just a few weeks after the acquisition closed. That's the pace we're working with.
