About Michael

Bio

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.
