TicketMeta

TicketMeta is a Dubai-founded, blockchain-powered ticketing startup established in 2023 by Irina G. Jadallah and Anna Ivanchenko. The company offers a white-label SaaS platform designed for sports, esports, entertainment, and virtual events, enabling organizers, venues, and brands to issue secure and scalable smart tickets—both physical and NFT-based—for virtual and in-person gatherings.

The platform features customizable seating layouts, real-time scanning, crowd management tools, and sophisticated fraud prevention (including bot-resistant smart contracts), making it suitable for everything from large arenas to boutique events. It also supports credit card and crypto payments, dynamic pricing, secondary market controls, post-event loyalty rewards, and attendee analytics. Organizers benefit from embedding the ticketing experience directly into their web properties under their own branding.

With a compact team of 2–10 professionals, TicketMeta has rapidly gained attention—targeting USD 1 million in fundraising for Q4 2023 and aiming for a USD 15 million round in late 2024—with a 2025 sales forecast of USD 7 million. The platform is backed by partnerships in markets like Singapore and the UAE and is positioned as a secure, data-driven gateway bridging Web2 and Web3 ticketing.
