Company description
At Punchbowl Software, we believe that planning an event or party should be enjoyable and easy.
For the host, there are typically lots of pieces to organize: picking a date, sending invitations, choosing catering and entertainment, purchasing party supplies, and renting party equipment just to name a few. It can be a time-consuming process, and it usually isn't much fun.
To solve this problem, we've created MyPunchbowl, a new web application for event and party planning. MyPunchbowl provides software for every stage of planning. With MyPunchbowl.com you'll actually enjoy planning while saving time.

Business model
MyPunchbowl.com has a large revenue opportunity. Our business is based on a number of different revenue sources including targeted advertising, revenue sharing on supplies and merchandise, and affiliate revenue through booking partners. In addition, we believe our core software is an attractive package to license to key brands in the event and party industry.
Competitive advantage
MyPunchbowl has comprehensive planning features, providing hosts and guests with an easy to use website for every stage of a party. The developers of MyPunchbowl have created an innovative workflow-based user interface and comprehensive features that are best suited for party hosts.
Other sites focus on casual get-togethers or public event listings. Only MyPunchbowl.com is focused on helping hosts and guests have the best party experience possible. For sophisticated parties or events, MyPunchbowl is the best product to enable people to be the world's greatest host.
