A SIMPLER SOLUTION
Putting on a great live show is never easy. Whether you’re a performer or someone working behind-the-scenes to make events happen, it takes countless hours and megatons of energy to make it extraordinary. And when time and money are tight, you can’t afford to waste precious hours and dollars on digital tools that make the whole process more complicated.
We started Gobo with a mission to make managing events and selling tickets dead simple, so independent performers and presenters can focus on the good stuff: writing, rehearsing, discovering, producing, promoting, and actually enjoying the work of live shows. Our platform is built from the ground up to make things like booking and box office services easy and affordable, no matter what kind of venue or creative medium you’re working in.
CLOSING THE GAP FOR SHOW MAKERS
While ticket sales have rebounded since 2020, actual inflation-adjusted income from live performance is still below 80% of pre-pandemic levels.

I’ve been producing shows for 20 years and was never happy with the tools available. So I decided to do something about it.”
