About InviteManager

Originally founded as Spotlight Ticket Management in 2007 by Tony Knopp and Joe Greiner, the company now operates as TicketManager after a series of rebrands, including a period as InviteManager. The founders' journey began at StubHub, where they managed corporate sales and recognized a significant gap in the market for a tool to streamline client entertainment. They observed that while companies spent heavily on event tickets for clients, the process was cumbersome, lacked transparency, and made it difficult to measure return on investment. This firsthand experience was the catalyst for creating a solution to simplify and justify corporate hospitality.

Read full description

TicketManager provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed for enterprises to manage their corporate tickets for sporting and entertainment events. The business serves a wide range of corporate clients, from Fortune 500 companies like Verizon, FedEx, and Mastercard, to smaller businesses. Its revenue model is based on providing these companies with the technology to manage, allocate, and analyze the use of their tickets. The platform centralizes a company's entire ticket inventory into a single dashboard, allowing them to control access, distribute tickets to sales teams, and track who attends events. This helps companies eliminate manual processes and gain visibility into how these assets are driving business goals.

The service offers a comprehensive suite of features aimed at making client entertainment seamless and measurable. It integrates with major CRM and expense management platforms like Salesforce and Concur, embedding the ticket management process directly into the existing workflows of sales and finance departments. This allows for real-time reporting on the effectiveness of each event, helping to prove ROI and ensure compliance with internal policies and regulations. In recent years, the company has expanded through strategic acquisitions, including Sports Systems in 2021 and its main competitor, Ovations, in 2025, broadening its capabilities in guest management and event accreditation. In mid-2025, Valeas Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company with a $110 million investment to accelerate growth and innovation.
