Summary
Quickly expanding around the nation, the event staffing tech firm PopBookings recently raised a significant round that will push the technology into international markets. Led by CEO Erika Klotz and COO Scott Hanson, the Kansas City-based tech firm recently raised more than $1 million in an oversubscribed round that includes the Missouri Technology Corporation, iSelect and other undisclosed investors. The firm created software that streamlines talent coordination for promotional models, brand ambassadors, street teams, bartenders and other event staffs. The company recently expanded its service into Europe and is adding new industries to its client base, including construction. In 2016, PopBookings raised $250,000 from local angel investors and few months later, it snagged $50,000 via the LaunchKC grant competition.
