Hi Ronald,
I want to offer you an embargoed sneak peek of the launch of Eventup, launching in Chicago, June 4th. Eventup is an online event-booking destination for the most exceptional commercial and privately owned properties, the tech start-up is backed by technology studio Science, Inc. (Michael Jones, former MySpace CEO, and Peter Pham, co-founder of Color). The service, currently available in LA, NY and SF has received a lot of attention because they give people access to so many celebrity houses and Hollywood sets- imagine throwing a wedding at HBOıs Entourage house, or a birthday party at Lady Gagaıs downtown apartment.
We also want to note that on June 4th, Eventup is announcing theyıve raised a $1.8 million seed round lead by Lightbank, the Chicago-based investment vehicle created by Groupon founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell.
Since launching two months ago, event space listings have increased 100% month over month, with private and commercial property owners flocking to the site to offer their properties for special event bookings.
The service gives private and commercial property owners a great way to make money- think about all the multi-million dollar homes sitting on the real estate market, or renting out your apartment when you go on vacation, or offering your restaurant or art gallery for a weeknight corporate event?
Unique locations Chiacago include:
· A Beautiful Castle
· Villa D' Citta the premier mansion
· Sophisticated Urban Country Estate
· Charles Gates Dawes House
· 10,000 sq ft Mediterranean estate
· The Elegant Hansen House Mansion
· Greenhouse loft
· Loft on a Lake
We hope this will make a great local business story, the service hopes to help people make money by renting out their spaces for events, itıs now backed by major Chicago investors, and party planning is finally making a comeback, especially for small and medium sized businesses that are getting back on their feet.
We could include Mike Jones, the former CEO of MySpace who is backing the company, as part of the interview.
Warmest Regards,
[Editor's note: May here. At the request of the sender, the
