The story

Founded in 2013 as a merchandise management tool for touring artists and bands, atVenu has evolved into an enterprise commerce platform for live events, encompassing concessions, sponsorships, and fan activations. The company deepened its financial infrastructure over time, integrating payments, settlement, and payout capabilities—culminating in atVenu Pay, which automates post-show ACH/wire payouts to artists and venues. Stripe Treasury was adopted to underpin the financial flows powering this settlement layer.
