# VenuePilot

> All-in-one venue management for independent live-music venues: ticketing, booking, box office, offers & settlements, and revenue-based capital (UpFront). Founder-owned and mission-driven — no VC capital, no contracts, no lock-in — with a flat $0.75 fee per online ticket. Founding NIVA board member.

VenuePilot was built inside a working NYC venue by an independent operator. Door sales are free, payout cadence is yours to choose (daily or weekly), and there are no setup fees, monthly minimums, or contracts. Venues keep 100% of any fees they add on top — venue fees, facility fees, donations. Checkout is mobile-first and SEO/AI optimized. Integrates with Prism.fm, Hive, Cymbal, Mailchimp, Bandsintown, Spotify, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, BigQuery, and more via real two-way APIs and webhooks.
