If you’ve ever been passionate about writing, editing, advertising, and marketing, but never imagined yourself going into the ad agency world — if you’ve ever been fascinated with Facebook advertising, promoting a product on Instagram, and getting people to show up to events — if you’ve ever wanted to jump from just being in the Bay Area to actually joining a growing startup there — this Praxis opportunity is for you.
UpOut, a San Francisco-based startup, looks to bridge the gap between services like Netflix and the events world. Customers pay $20/month and get two digital passes to events in their area. And UpOut wants a Praxis participant to help them grow.
You’ll get to join a small, fun, and tight-knit startup team in the startup hub of the world. If you’re passionate about helping people have fun and connecting them to events all around their communities, then you’ll want to join this team.
The company describes itself on AngelList:
Similar to HotelTonight, UpOut’s business seizes the opportunity left by unsold inventory and the resultant lost on-premise sales. The value is so clear to merchants that over 40% of those cold-contacted give UpOut excess ticket inventory for free to fill their seats and sell merchandise, food, drinks and other on-premise revenue products.
The powerful value propositions to both merchants and consumers have led to 30% monthly growth of the business with strong CAC/LTV ratios.
