4.05 million people. That's the number of people with disabilities that we think we'll be able to positively impact with Eventably, each year, if we penetrate the market only 1%.

Over 40 million people with disabilities attend some sort of ticketed event each year, and yet not one of the existing ticketing platforms out there are accessible.

Help us change that. On Thursday, we're launching an Indiegogo campaign for Eventably and would appreciate your support.
