Eventtus Raises 1.2 Million EGP in Funding
Summary
Congratulations to Egypt-based Eventtus, an event engagement app and social network that just got 1.2 million EGP in funding from Vodafone Ventures Egypt and Cairo Angels! There’s nothing else like Eventtus in the region and with the investors they’ve got behind them now, we expect them to receive more support and with it, a roll out of new and improved features, including a ticketing option coming soon. We’re really just getting started.” Eventtus began in May 2011 when founders Nihal Fares, Mai Medhat and Ahmed Shreef met each other at Startup Weekend Cairo. The app, available on Android and iPhone and also accessible as a website, provides a listing of events and makes recommendations based on people’s interests and location. Users are able to RSVP, connect with other attendees, share photos and video, make comments and create polls all within the app, which can be linked to Facebook and Twitter.
