Prism

Prism is a software company built by promoters for promoters. Innovation in the concert promotion industry has stagnated due to the near-monopoly that exists - over ¾ of the market in the US is controlled by a single entity, and has remained fundamentally unchanged for over half a century. A group of software engineers with years of experience developing music industry-specific apps joined forces with one of the largest independent concert promoters in Austin Texas. Together, they recognized an opportunity to disrupt the concert promotion industry and bring balance to the Force.

Funding Stage: Series A
