Showpass builds integrated ticketing and venue management software for event organizers and venues. The stack—Python, Django, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js—signals a full-stack web-first architecture typical of SaaS platforms. Current pain points cluster around scaling (global expansion, demand engine, support infrastructure) and unit economics (cost-per-acquisition, organic growth), which map directly to their stated projects around global scaling and paid acquisition optimization. Hiring velocity is accelerating across marketing and engineering, though the seniority mix shows depth gaps—one engineering role and no product-level hires visible—suggesting execution or prioritization constraints during expansion.
