Ventatti is an event ticketing and promoting website that makes it easy to plan an event from one convenient source. 

The fee is paid when people pay for the tickets and the promoter gets to keep the full value of the ticket sales two days after the event is over.

Ventatti includes live streaming for promoters, free branding and secure ticketing for anyone who signs up. 

The site also has group systems for events dealing with student organizations and in need of student verification. 

“There were tons of event calendars and no one place to promote," Ainsley said. "I just really wanted something locally exclusive to tie it all together." 

In the beginning, Ainsley didn’t know how to get the business up and running and so he contacted MSU’s own Spartan Innovations. 

Spartan Innovations is a program which provides support for start up businesses and research technologies. They help with the planning, initial financing and assist with promoting the business.

Ainsley also works with psychology senior Michaela Marks and marketing senior Griffin Goble to run the business. 

What sets their business apart from most is that it is exclusive to the East Lansing and MSU communities. 

“Eventually, we’d consider expanding to different communities, but for now, we would prefer to stay in the East Lansing area,” Marks said.

Since the website has been functioning for about a year, the group has been working to promote it and get more users. 

“The website has been up about a year now and it’s interesting to see how it grows and gets better as time goes on," Goble said. "Everything is all about the timing for us now."
