Targeting university societies, Qnect allows users to browse through events where the ‘attending’ list only reveals those who have paid for a ticket.
Launched in 2006, Eventfinda was originally an events listing platform. Now incorporating ticketing, the startup last year processed 20 million tickets for events around New Zealand.
