Events Venture Group (EVG), a braintrust of founders, serial entrepreneurs, and top-tier event operators, has announced its latest strategic investment in Explori, a leading provider of standardised feedback, benchmarking, and intelligence for the global events industry.
Greg Topalian, founding EVG Board member, said: “I have never been as bullish about the event industry as I am right now. The challenge before us is how to deliver the highest levels of ROI, gain key insights into what our customers want and need and where industries are going. Explori is at the centre of solving these challenges.”
Founded by CEO Mark Brewster, Explori’s data-driven platform enables event leaders to deliver measurable ROI for stakeholders.
“In its third syndication within a year, EVG has demonstrated resilience and conviction in the live events sector. The company’s consistent dealflow aligns with venture capital ratios, reinforcing its mission to empower event entrepreneurs with transformative capital and operational expertise,” said Marilú Páez, EVG co-founder.
The partners believe that the new backing by EVG’s syndication means Explori is positioned to:
- Accelerate product and AI innovation
- Expand its global intelligence services
- Strengthen its role as the go-to source for event performance benchmarking and attendee, exhibitor and sponsor insights.
The investment was led by EVG members including leaders across the events, finance, and advisory sectors.
“Explori is poised to revolutionise how the events ecosystem leverages data,” said Harvey Hudes, EVG member. “EVG was built to support platforms like this – ones that deliver measurable impact for founders, organisers, and investors.”
Mark Brewster added: “This syndication is more than just capital – it’s a true partnership with operators and investors who have scaled events, and event technology, from the ground up. With EVG’s backing, we’re ready to ignite Explori’s next phase of growth.”
Full details of the investment have not been revealed.
