UPDATE: Due to the extended period of COVID-19 pandemic compounded by the Delta and Omicron variants, most establishments were unable to continue their regular business, especially until late due to various government restrictions throughout the world. Thus, we eventually decided to shut down the operation of LiveKrowd. LiveKrowd was created to run virtual concerts for hospitals to boost the morale of medical workers and patients while they battle COVID-19. ​We grew our average viewing time 3 times over and won the Universal Music Group (UMG) competition. In post-COVID-19 era, we were extending into a booking platform that empowers artists, singers and musicians to be booked to perform via live streaming anywhere in the world. Show less

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, we've quickly pivoted to LiveKrowd. Part of the 6% selected startups for Station F Founders Program in 2019. We want to make ticket reselling fair and square to everyone. By bestowing the power to artists and event organizers to control the primary and secondary ticketing markets, we're helping to create a harmonious ticketing ecosystem. Event owners are able to price their tickets fairly, fans could afford to attend the events without falling prey to fraud, and tickets scalpers could still make a living reselling tickets. That's a win, win and win! Show less
