Eventure's Whole Product Solution
Eventure's growth strategy is centered on launching a whole product solution that enhances event participation by tying together its social calendaring app with SmartSeen™, its mobile camera and hub system, and event-based games created by its mobile gaming division, Eventure Play™. Eventure's product solution growth strategy further leverages the Company's patent #8,769,610 and empowers people to plan, interact, and seamlessly create lasting memories at an event in a controlled and private social network environment.
"During development of our core product, we discovered an opportunity to compliment our social calendaring platform with networked cameras and event-centric games to create a whole product solution that improves the event life-cycle experience", said Jason Harvey, now Chief Executive Officer of Eventure Interactive, Inc. "The mobile app is tied to a suite of connected cameras that allow photos and videos to be easily captured, streamed, and shared among event attendees, which is then tied back to the same specific event for subsequent viewing. Additionally, we identified that adding unique and fun games that facilitate connecting with new people at an event was a natural addition to the platform," he continued.
