We Need Your Help!
As a startup, we’ve been very fortunate to build and operate as a result of private fundraising efforts, but we’re nearing the end of that runway. We’re trying to make the critical leap to sustaining ourselves through revenue alone, and we need your help.
The Future of Side Door
As we start 2024, we remain focused on what makes artists’ lives easier and supporting our hosts to have more successful shows. This year, we’re launching simple ticketing solutions to serve those without connections on Side Door or those doing self-promoted shows.
Side Door Platform Update: Simplifying Connections
At Side Door, we are all about fostering connections between Artists and Hosts for unforgettable shows, and we are thrilled to announce that it just got a lot easier to make that happen.
