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.
Sara Providence is Vice President and Chief of Staff to the CEO at SeatGeek, the New York-based ticketing marketplace. She arrived from McKinsey & Company in 2023, bringing an unusual triple-degree background - a BA from Harvard, a JD from Columbia Law, and an MBA from Columbia Business School - to the corner office of a company whose product is essentially the trust that a stranger's PDF will get you into a stadium.
