I built the tool I wished I'd had on every show.

Our story

NODE started backstage. Years of artist hospitality, stage management and site management meant years of spreadsheets, three WhatsApp groups per event and the one rider nobody could find.

Every tool out there was built for one side of the show. The organiser got software; the venue, the artist and the supplier got emails. NODE gives every side its own workspace and connects them, so the people who make live events work as one crew.

We're starting in Cape Town and building for the whole world, with a special focus on supporting women working in live events.

Questions

Good to know

When does NODE launch?

We're running a private beta with our first organisers and agencies now. The Founding Crew list hears first when doors open.

Do the people I work with need to pay?

No. Artists, venues and suppliers you invite to a project can join free. Paid plans are for the people running the shows.

Can I use NODE outside South Africa?

Yes. NODE is built for the international market, with news and advice tagged by country so you see what matters where you work.

How do reviews stay fair?

Reviews are marked verified when the supplier is on the poster's own booking records. Every supplier gets a public right of reply, and anything fake, personal or off-topic can be reported to a moderator.

I wear more than one hat. What then?

Add extra hats to your account, or choose Studio to get every hat in one workspace and switch between them freely.
