Seatleaf operates a multi-sided marketplace for the cannabis and alternative wellness event industry, generating revenue through three compounding streams.
Transaction fees — a 6.5% platform fee on gross ticket sales processed through Seatleaf's compliant payment infrastructure. Every paid event on the platform generates revenue automatically.
SaaS subscriptions — recurring monthly plans for the three professional sides of the marketplace: event organizers ($175/mo), sponsors and brands ($150/mo), and venues ($199/mo). Subscriptions unlock dashboards, matchmaking tools, and audience data.
Sponsorship matching fees — a blended ~2% take rate on sponsor-to-event deal flow facilitated through the platform, tiered by deal size (3% under $1K, 2% at $1K–$5K, 1% at $5K+).
Customers are event organizers, cannabis and wellness brands, and venues — professionals who currently have no compliant infrastructure and are actively looking for one. Attendees access the platform for free, growing the audience data that makes the sponsor and venue tiers more valuable over time. The model is built-in recurring from day one, with transaction revenue generating immediately at Phase I launch and subscription revenue layering in at Month 6.
Cannabis events run on zero real infrastructure. Seatleaf is the first compliant marketplace — ticketing, payments, and AI sponsor matching for a $30B market Eventbrite won't touch. Raising $125K seed · $2M pre-money · Revenue Jun 2026.
