Nigerian startup EventPorte has developed a digital platform that enables event organisers to create, promote, sell, and manage events through a single integrated solution, combining ticketing, payment processing, access control, and data analytics.
In practice, the platform functions as a centralised event management hub. Organisers can build dedicated event pages, sell tickets online, receive payments, monitor participant entry, track sales in real time, and access audience data. Beyond ticketing, EventPorte also provides payment tools, sales analytics, and strategic support — including access to a network of venue partners, suppliers, marketing services, and advertising.
One of the platform’s distinguishing features is its support for multi-currency payments and its commitment to making sales proceeds available to organisers the following day. The platform operates directly through a web browser, allowing attendees to search for and purchase tickets without downloading a dedicated application.
Nigeria remains EventPorte’s primary market, but the startup has already expanded its operations to Ghana and Kenya. The platform currently counts more than 1,700 event organisers and processes between 5,000 and 10,000 tickets per month, even during periods of lower activity.
Among the clients and partners cited by the company are Eko Hotels & Suites, Hard Rock Cafe Lagos, Adidas, Lacoste, the Lagos International Theatre Festival, and the William Troost-Ekong Foundation.
EventPorte is backed by Payaza Africa, which supported the creation and scaling of the platform. The startup currently generates revenue primarily through a commission on tickets sold via the platform, supplemented by income from strategic partnerships.
EventPorte’s broader ambition is to position itself as more than a ticketing service. The company’s proposition is to equip organisers with the core tools required to turn an event concept into a viable business — covering promotion, ticketing, payments, access control, and performance analytics.
