TapCrowd operated as a specialized developer of mobile applications tailored for high-stakes corporate and association events, trade shows, and conferences. The company was founded in Ghent, Belgium, in 2010 by Brecht Fourneau and Miquel Vermeulen. Positioned in the event technology market, TapCrowd provided a self-service platform that allowed event organizers to create, manage, and publish highly customized mobile apps across all major app stores, including iOS and Android.
The firm's core business revolved around enhancing attendee engagement and providing measurable returns for event planners and sponsors. Its platform offered a suite of features such as personalized schedules, speaker listings, live Q&A sessions, voting, social media integration, and interactive floorplans. A key differentiator for TapCrowd was its early focus on a data-centric approach, delivering mobile marketing automation and event data analytics to help clients understand attendee behavior and monetize their events more effectively. The company served a global client base that included prominent names like Carrefour, Kia, Marketo, and SAP.
After securing approximately $1.39 million in funding over two rounds, with its latest Seed round in July 2012, TapCrowd demonstrated significant market traction. This culminated in its acquisition by etouches (now Aventri), a global leader in event management software, in July 2015. The acquisition was a strategic move by etouches to integrate TapCrowd's mobile technology and data analytics capabilities into its enterprise event management platform. Following the acquisition, the TapCrowd team, including its co-founders and then-CEO Niko Nelissen, joined etouches to bolster its mobile and data product division.
