Executive Summary

The Unmet Market Need:
Today, there is no centralized marketplace that connects individuals /event planners and venues in real-time. Finding and booking a venue is a referral based manual process. Many under-utilized venues are in need to generate additional revenues. On the other hand, growth in social media is leading to demand to meet up in the real world. 

Why isn't there a 1-stop shop today? 

The complex scheduling, pricing schemes for different venues makes real time on-line transactions difficult.  Many vairables make it hard to treat venues as standardized commodities.
