Posh Raises $37M Series B to Expand Digital Ticketing and Event Management Platform
New York rewards whoever can read a room before the room reads them. Avante Price built that instinct early, long before venture capital started keeping score. When you are organizing experiences and packing venues while everyone else is still figuring out the guest list, patterns start to reveal themselves. The crowd is the product, and the product better move.
That instinct is now backed by $37M in fresh Series B capital for Posh, led by FirstMark Capital with Causeway Ventures joining the party and Goodwater Capital, Companyon Ventures, and Epic Ventures running it back. Valuation clocks in at $253M, which feels less like a number and more like a receipt for momentum.
Credit where it is due. Avante Price, Founder and CEO, and Eli Taylor-Lemire, Co-Founder and the original builder, took a dorm room frustration with clunky ticketing tools and turned it into infrastructure that actually respects the organizer. Not the platform. The organizer. That detail is everything.
Posh is not trying to be the loudest logo in the room. It is the quiet system making sure the room fills up. White label pages that let creators own their brand. CRM and SMS tools that turn a one night event into a repeatable business. Payments that show up when organizers need them, not when platforms feel generous. Then layer in a discovery engine that understands your social gravity, who you move with, where you show up, what you might say yes to next.
Millions of users are already in motion, and tens of millions in ticket volume have flowed through the system. That is not theory. That is behavior. And behavior is the only metric that does not lie.
The business lesson is simple but not easy. Build for the person doing the work, not the audience watching it. Posh leaned into organizers as operators, not customers, and gave them leverage. The result is a flywheel where supply creates demand and demand feeds supply without begging for attention.
This round is about tightening that loop. More tools for organizers. A sharper discovery layer for users. A bigger canvas than nightlife alone, because culture does not live in one vertical and neither should the software that supports it.
Plenty of platforms sell access. Few understand energy. Posh is betting that if you get the energy right, everything else follows. And right now, the room is filling up fast.
