To change the way marketing happens by building a conversation-first lifecycle marketing platform.
Event sales teams are often bogged down with inquiries and booking requests, eating time that could otherwise be used to run the experiences that the venues put on. The founder of Runhappy first recognised this when booking birthday parties for his children, but saw a culture of excessive admin and drawn-out application forms. Runhappy was born out of its conversational marketing predecessor Tildei to accelerate the event admin process for venues and their customers.
Runhappy’s software runs your bookings and appointments, leveraging AI to respond to and manage inquiries, so that event teams can focus on providing a service. It’s no surprise that the company rebranded from its predecessor, utilising Tildei’s conversational marketing platform to expand into an events management automation platform. It’s off to a great start too, having been listed on Built In’s Best Places to Work list in July 2026, and scaling its operations and leadership team.
