About Michael
I'm an event tech professional, supporting events, conferences, and tradeshows.
My career for the last 15 years has been scaling sales growth in SaaS companies within this industry. I currently work with InEvent, a YC-backed venture.
Recently, I identified a gap in the $20 billion trade show market in which there are no competitors, a major issue affecting at least 650,000 exhibiting companies.
My team is building a SaaS, AI-powered solution within this market. We have 70 beta customers ready to go along with an amazing go-to-market strategy. Once, we've secured funding, we can launch our MVP by June 2025. Our goal is to build the next leading event-tech company that prioritizes AI features
Although I'm new to founding, I look forward to connecting with advisors and investors who can help us address serious problems in the conference and trade show industry.
