Eventbrite announced today that it has acquired Vancouver’s Picatic, a Vancouver-based ticketing and event registration platform that empowers event creators in Canada and around the world.

“Picatic shares our mission of bringing the world together through live experiences and we are particularly inspired by their commitment to empowering purpose-driven creators to drive positive change in their communities,” said Julia Hartz, CEO and co-founder of Eventbrite.

“Their passionate team includes some of Vancouver’s most skilled developers, and we’re thrilled to bring even more technical talent to our global workforce through this union.”

Jayesh Parmar, CEO and co-founder of Picatic, who will join Eventbrite and continue to lead the team in Vancouver, said, “Events are deeply rooted in our company’s DNA and we share the same passion for live experiences as the team at Eventbrite. Joining forces brings tremendous value to our loyal customers, who will now benefit from Eventbrite’s powerful platform, robust feature set, and access to an extensive roster of API and distribution partners. We’re excited to share our talented development community and have a broader impact in the Canadian market and beyond.”

Hartz continued, “Eventbrite has a long-standing commitment to Canada, with creators across the country and employees in Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal. Vancouver is emerging as a lively tech hub, full of world-class talent and innovative companies, and we feel a strong connection to it as a technology and cultural center. We look forward to continuing to expand our local team and empowering our creators in this vibrant market.”
