Tikex.com is a modern ticketing platform built to help event organizers launch events, sell tickets, manage attendees, and operate more efficiently. Our goal is to make ticketing simpler, safer, and more transparent for both organizers and attendees. We are now developing the next stage of the platform: an organizer-controlled secondary marketplace where ticket holders can safely transfer or resell tickets without relying on informal social media groups or unverified marketplaces. We are exploring technologies such as smart contracts and tokenized tickets while keeping the customer experience simple and accessible. Organizers should be able to define resale rules, limit prices, prevent duplicate or fraudulent tickets, and maintain a direct relationship with the current ticket holder. Tikex is currently an early-stage, founder-led company working with its first event partners. We value practical experimentation, direct customer feedback, ownership, and simple solutions to real industry problems. New team members have the opportunity to shape both the product and the business from an early stage.

We are a website that lists every repertory, independent, and specialty movie screening happening in Los Angeles. Film fans come to Revival Hub to discover unique movie-going experiences: a Q&A screening with their favorite director, a rooftop screening of a nostalgic 80s movie, an all-night horror movie marathon, or even a 16mm silent film screening at a historic theater. We currently have over 12,000 monthly unique visitors, 5200+ Instagram followers, and 1200+ email subscribers, almost entirely within Los Angeles. We've gathered this strong local following with a very simple website and concept, and we think there is an opportunity to build a much bigger and more useful platform for dedicated film-goers and the independent venues and programmers that cater to them. We're currently looking to partner with a software engineer / web developer to build an event discovery platform that connects movie-lovers to the best theatrical experiences in their cities. Similar to how dice.fm helps curious music fans discover local shows at smaller, more niche venues, Revival Hub aims to be the platform that helps film fans discover memorable movie-going experiences. We want to test this platform in Los Angeles with the goal of expanding nation-wide.
