Top Events Startups in 2026

What we believe.. We believe life is about socialising & smiling more. Face to face. Every day. Every week. Facebook feeds don’t count. We believe humans should be more active. Not because we’re told to but because we enjoy how it makes us feel. We believe sharing team experiences gives us all a stronger sense of belonging & purpose, in a world with less and less. We believe we’re all just over-evolved apes with mobile phones stuck to our noses. We believe salvation can be found in social sports & team events. So that’s what we spend our days delivering.

vendorup is building the Event Operations OS for the global events industry. Events are still run on fragmented tools, spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, emails, PDFs, and manual vendor coordination. This creates inefficiency, lack of visibility, payment friction, and massive operational stress — especially as events scale in size, frequency, and complexity. vendorup replaces this fragmented stack with a single operating system that connects planners, vendors, agencies, and organizations across the full event lifecycle — from sourcing and quoting to execution, payments, and insights. - At its core, vendorup provides shared infrastructure for events: - A structured marketplace to discover and manage vendors - Workflow tools to run event operations in one place - Built-in communication, approvals, and documentation - Centralized financial flows (quotes, payments, payouts) - Data and insights that turn events into measurable operations Unlike traditional event software that focuses on isolated features, vendorup is designed as an OS — modular, extensible, and role-aware — adapting to how real events are produced in the field. We’re building vendorup for an industry that runs the world’s most important moments, yet still operates behind the scenes with outdated systems. Our mission is to give event professionals back time, clarity, and control — and to transform events from chaotic projects into scalable operations.
