Opendate Announces $14M Series A Raise Led by High Alpha

The live events platform will use the funding for product improvements and growth

Opendate, the Indianapolis headquartered all-in-one platform for booking, ticketing, and marketing live events, has raised a $14 million Series A led by High Alpha, with participation from existing investors.

The platform:

  • As per its release, Opendate brings booking, ticketing, and marketing into a single system built specifically for independent venues, promoters, festivals, and attractions.

  • The company says it gives these operators a shared source of truth and transparency at a time when large entities such as Ticketmaster are bundling ticketing, data, and distribution into closed ecosystems, leaving independent operators with limited visibility into their ticketing and marketing performance.

Investment:

  • The $14M Series A will be used to deepen product capabilities across booking intelligence, ticketing, and marketing.

  • It will also enable the company to expand the team across engineering, data and go-to-market roles.

  • It will support continued adoption among venues, promoters, festivals, art fairs, and other attractions seeking purpose-built alternatives.

What they said:

  • Eric Tobias, Co-Founder and CEO of Opendate: “Opendate is rethinking how live events operate. For too long, operators have been forced to stitch together tools that weren’t designed for the pace, margins, or complexity of this business. This funding allows us to keep building software that works the way live events actually work.”
