Eventbrite's mission is to bring people together through live experiences. They have become a household name for me as I have used it over the last year to buy tickets to events.
This event, held at the sexy Sydney Hub in William Street, focussed on Kevin and Julia's experience in founding the company. Eventbrite started with 3 employees in 2006 and has grown to 300 (and still growing fast, now with a strategic international expansion).
Highlight Notes
- From the start people and company culture is important. However it is not all fun and games. They use a high velocity feedback loop: people know where the results are at, and what is expected of them.
- It is important to always seek feedback and listen to it. When it comes to feedback, more is more. This should be sought from customers, mentors and anyone who will provide unfiltered feedback.
- Having a founding team is important, as it is too hard to do it alone. In hard times, this team also keeps you sane.
- Their start up shared their space with other now stars like Tripit (bought by concur), flixter, Zynga. During the start up phase, they shared ideas and resources and looked after each other.
Wisely said: When disrupting an industry, don't take the Goliaths head on!
