SeatGeek
SeatGeek is a New York-based ticketing company that runs a mobile-first marketplace for live sports, concerts and theater alongside an enterprise platform that powers primary ticketing for teams, leagues and venues. It is best known for Deal Score, an algorithm that rates every listing by price and seat value, and it competes with Ticketmaster and StubHub across both the primary and secondary ticket markets.
Jack Groetzinger
Jack Groetzinger is the co-founder and CEO of SeatGeek, the mobile-first ticketing platform he started in 2009 to make buying and selling tickets for sports, concerts and theater simpler and more transparent. Under his leadership SeatGeek has raised roughly $400 million, reached a valuation above $1 billion, and won primary-ticketing deals with Major League Soccer, the Dallas Cowboys, the Brooklyn Nets and dozens of Broadway theaters. A Dartmouth economics graduate and serial entrepreneur, Groetzinger has become one of the most vocal challengers to Ticketmaster's dominance, testifying before the U.S. Senate on competition in live-event ticketing.
