We're not really in the social-network-for-your-event market, though some of our functionality might address part of that problem space. Services like EventVue are limited in terms of growth because they need to convince conferences to sign up (and pay for the service) one at a time - it's a sales problem.
With Lanyrd, the event itself doesn't need to have anything to do with the site for a profile to be created - and the more events we have listed, the more valuable the service is to our users. We have over 5,000 events listed already, all entered by our community.
Thanks to Start Fund, we've got a healthy runway to figure out our business model. We have a bunch of options and we're confident we can find something that works for us.
