In 2017, we started @seated with a mission to empower artists to gain more control of their live data, as a way to ultimately help them sell more tickets & earn more revenue. I'm honored to be personally recognized for Seated's accomplishments on @billboard's '40 under 40' list of young leaders in the music industry.

@CollinRugg This is misleading. A jury has already found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him in his first trial. He already faces up to 115 years in prison. The DOJ is just choosing not to pursue an expensive 2nd trial that was always likely just the backup plan

@gillinghammer @podstash_ People like @flodeskinc for its simple design. Product looks great, but I’ve personally never used it. It’s an impressive company that 100% bootstrapped to $5M ARR in less than a year

I'm noticing a lot stories being popularized on social media highlighting get-rich-quick schemes using AI tools (like @OpenAI's ChatGPT). Just a friendly reminder that building a successful business isn't as easy as just coming up with a good idea and letting it run on autopilot

The idea that @JohnMayer might have some knowledge of @Seated, the company I created 5 years ago, still blows my mind. Proud of the whole Seated team on an amazing @deadandcompany presale launch today!!

I'm really proud of everyone on team @Seated for what we were able to accomplish last year... 125+ live streams to 150,000+ ticket buyers in less than 6 months. 2021 > 2020

Last year wasn't what any of us expected, but we still found ways to bring artists & fans together on @Seated. Here's to an even better 2021 for live concerts 🥂 Watch our year-end recap below...

Back in September, we cracked the $1M mark for virtual event tickets sold on @seated. After a quick team celebration of this mini-milestone, we decided to start writing a blog series to share some of the insights we learned from ticketing live streams:
