The marketplace connects individuals and businesses to great spaces. GetVen's goal is to make finding and booking short-term spaces an easy and transparent process. It also showcases a wide breadth of spaces, ranging from trendy Sandton Rooftop Bars to abandoned warehouses.
Among its users, GetVen expects numerous entrepreneurs, photographers, artists, and employees from the nation's largest businesses.
"GetVen was founded with a vision of bringing online venue booking in South Africa to the 21st century and make it quick and convenient to book event spaces", says Sibs Qetu-Yates, co-founder and head of product at GetVen.
"South Africa is known for its beauty and wide variety of culture and vibrant hangouts. We knew finding spaces with that wow factor wouldn't be difficult, but we wanted to curate a collection that not only looks great, but also meets the needs of all our users, whose uses will range from birthdays, to film shoots, engagement parties and even weddings. We want to be the destination for any function that South Africans would like to host outside their home or office by making the untapped potential of South Africa’s most interesting locations accessible. We also want to empower those individuals who find that they have an interesting home or space to be able to earn extra income by listing on our platform. We believe some truly unique and memorable activities will happen in these places."
The GetVen team plans to roll out a logistics service which will also assist users with finding audio equipment, catering, DJ’s and any other services that might be required.
“Ensuring that GetVen.com is a one-stop shop for all event needs is our number one priority” says Connor Kirsten, GetVen co-founder.
