They have recently attracted significant seed funding led by AirTree Ventures, which wrote Delegate Connect the biggest seed check in the fund’s history so far. Other participants included Skip Capital, TEN13, and Australian startup founders like LinkTree’s Alex Zaccaria and Go1’s Andrew Barnes.
Built to host large national or international scale events, the Delegate Connect platform can built a completely customisable end-to-end experience - a client's audience can't help but be impressed. They've thought of everything - need registration? Done. In-venue and online digital signage? No problem. Networking capabilities and a nifty algorithm for match-making? You bet. A mobile app for audience members on-site? This isn't their first rodeo. Essentially, the platform provides the only toolkit their client will need to put on a seamless and awe-inspiring event.
