Boilerplate
Short — Tiqstar is an events platform for discovering and buying tickets, selling them, and booking the vendors who make an event work. It operates across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, the UK, the US, Canada and the UAE, in each market's own currency and payment methods.
Long — Tiqstar is an events platform built in Lagos. Guests discover events and hold every ticket in one wallet; creators publish events, sell tiered tickets, run promo codes and guest lists, and check people in with scanners that keep working when the venue's network doesn't; vendors — caterers, photographers, sound engineers, security — list their services, get booked through the platform, and are paid through escrow. Payments run through Paystack, Stripe and Flutterwave depending on the currency, so an event is priced and paid for in the money of the market it's in.
