Nigerian startup EventPorte is rapidly changing how events are created, marketed, sold, and managed across the continent. Founded in 2024, the platform provides organizers with an end-to-end solution that streamlines every aspect of event planning – from intimate workshops to large-scale festivals.
EventPorte empowers creators to design customized event pages, issue digital tickets, process secure payments, manage check-ins, track sales in real-time, and access comprehensive analytics. The platform’s intuitive interface makes it easy for attendees to purchase tickets quickly and securely, while organizers gain valuable insights into audience behavior.
“We don’t see ourselves just as a ticketing provider,” explains Nishita Devanand, general manager of EventPorte. “Our goal is to be growth partners with event creators, offering practical expertise, strategic guidance, and access to a trusted network.” The company goes beyond basic ticketing functionality by providing support for multiple payment methods, next-day payouts, and real-time sales reporting.
EventPorte has quickly gained traction among leading organizations in Nigeria, including Eko Hotels & Suites, Bature Brewery, Hard Rock Cafe Lagos, and the William Troost-Ekong Foundation. The platform currently hosts over 1,700 events and processes thousands of tickets monthly – a testament to its growing popularity.
Beyond Nigeria, EventPorte has expanded into Ghana and Kenya while maintaining its commitment to supporting organizers with global reach. With features like multilingual support and international payment processing, the platform enables event creators to connect with audiences worldwide.
