Our story

Built by organisers, for organisers

We got tired of duct-taping spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and international tools together just to run a local event. So we built something better.

Our mission

Make great events accessible to every organiser

The big event platforms are built for global enterprises. They are expensive, complicated and more than most events need.

Event Star covers what most organisers actually use: your own payment gateway, tax invoices, data protection tools and a flat monthly price.

Your currency

Sell in the currency your payment gateway supports

Fast setup

First event live in under 10 minutes

Privacy ready

Data export and erasure tools for privacy requests

Local support

Talk to a real person in your timezone

What we believe in

Simplicity first

Every feature should be understandable in under 30 seconds. If it takes a manual to use, we redesign it.

Transparency always

No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no confusing terms. What you see is what you pay.

Your gateway, your rules

Payments go into your own gateway account, and invoices follow your tax settings.

Reliability above all

Your event runs once. Our platform needs to work every time, not most times.

Organiser-first

Every feature is evaluated by one question: does this make the organiser's life easier?

Continuous improvement

We ship updates every week. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
