River just raised a $1.6M pre-seed round!

We're building an events platform for global brands to let members from their community host on their behalf.

We're thrilled to partner with Blue Wire Capital, Blockwall, Blockchain Founders Capital, Solana Foundation, Very Early Ventures, and LAUNCH for our pre-seed round.

15 months ago I had an insight while building community for The All-In Podcast. I couldn’t find an event platform that would let fans host their own events without data sharing issues and tons of work.

So Jason Calacanis suggested we build one. He invested along with @balajis.eth 

We’re super proud of how much we built this past year with just $150k angel round. Our MVP has powered community events for  The All-In Podcast, Bryan Johnson, My First Million, Tim Ferris, Superteam, DeGods, Solana Foundatjon, and more.

We’ve already had over 2,000 events, produced by 3,000 crowd-sourced hosts with 55k attendees.

Building IRL community at scale on River https://getriver.io (backed by @balajis.eth & @solanafoundation) | For fun:🚴🏻‍♀️💃🏻

Congrats and nice timing with All In 200 coming up!
