Our take
Events are a major part of any industry, and require a lot of logistics and organisation. Rentman has capitalised on the necessity and difficulty of events by building a software platform that supports the events and media production industry in managing their people and equipment.
Event management and production teams can use Rentman's cloud-based software to manage gear and crew, all from one central base of operations, with features including scheduling, invoicing, reporting and tracking. Thus, the many moving parts of an event are centralised and streamlined - whether for a corporate live streaming broadcast or a wedding.
Rentman’s 250,000-strong user base has spread to over 100 countries, evidencing the company’s savvy and vital niche in the event software market. A spinout from Utrecht University, the company remained bootstrapped until 2023, when it raised an impressive funding round that will enable it to grow through acquisitions and give it the runway to develop more products.
