EventHub officially closed their pre-seed round earlier this month as they prepare to scale up customer adoption of their sponsorship platform. The round was led by Pasadena Angels and Emerging Ventures from the LA area as well as Seattle-based Accellius Capital. Also participating in the round was former Patron Technology CRO Brian Arnone, who serves as lead advisor for EventHub.

The SaaS platform — which features a sponsor:event matching component and a tool-suite that streamlines partnership management — added a virtual expo in response to the Covid pandemic. This led to a surge in new customers that included the top 3 marathon expos in the US.

“We’re thrilled about the enthusiasm shown for EventHub by such an esteemed group of investors, that led us to close out this round so quickly,” said Michael Bleau, CEO. “We look forward to deploying this capital to expand our customer base and deliver a best-in-class solution for growing event sponsorship revenue.”

“At the Pasadena Angels, our group has seen great promise in EventHub and the team that Michael has put together,” said Chairman Dave de Csepel. “EventHub has really hit upon a great niche, by giving event organizers an easy solution to book and inform sponsors, allowing them to spend their time putting on great events. They are uniquely positioned to change the landscape of marketing sponsorships at all major events.”

“I’m excited to have EventHub as a portfolio company for Emerging Ventures Fund I,” said David Mandel, Managing Partner. “I look forward to working with Michael Bleau as an investor and board observer, as he and his team grow the business.”
