Oxynade

Based in Ghent, Belgium, Oxynade was founded in 2007 by Hans Nissens and Niko Nelissen. The company provides a white-label, cloud-based ticketing platform for event organizers, enabling them to manage and sell tickets for a wide range of events, from festivals and concerts to sports and conferences. Oxynade operates on an eTicketing-as-a-Service (eTaaS) model, which gives clients access to up-to-date ticketing technology without needing large upfront investments in software development. This allows ticketing companies to focus on their primary business of selling tickets. The platform is designed to be fully customizable, allowing clients to brand the ticketing solution with their own look and feel.

Cofounder Hans Nissens, who served as CEO, brought a background in civil engineering and later earned an Executive MBA. His experience includes working as a project manager and later coordinating the CultuurDatabank for CultuurNet Vlaanderen before establishing Oxynade. This background in both technology and cultural event data appears to have informed the company's direction. The company's platform, named "Tribal," is a comprehensive system that includes a back office, box office management, real-time analytics, and mobile access control. It supports various seating plans, pricing structures, and promotional offers. Key features include a seat map creator for venues of any size, secure payment gateways, and analytics tools that provide insights into ticket sales and customer behavior. Oxynade serves a diverse client base, including ticketing agencies, distributors, venues, museums, and theme parks. It also partners with media companies, providing them with hyper-local event calendars to generate new revenue streams.

Oxynade secured a total of $3.34 million in funding over two rounds. Its latest seed round in May 2017 brought in $1.96 million, with investors including PMV, Newion, and Arkafund. This funding was intended to support international expansion. In January 2020, Oxynade was acquired by SecuTix, a provider of enterprise-scale SaaS ticketing solutions. The acquisition was aimed at combining Oxynade's agile platform with SecuTix's solutions to serve a broader range of clients, from small organizations to large-scale operations.
