Build
We design, build and run software inside hospitality businesses we have access to. When it works for one operator, we spin it out for the rest, with that operator as the first client.
Event Portal and Vendor OS started this way.

We build and back the technology that runs hospitality.
Hospitality Fund is a venture studio started inside working venues. We build products where the problems live, and invest in founders who know the floor as well as the code.
- 3ventures in build, co-development and investment
- 2event venues where our software runs every week
- 300guests at an average event we operate for
- 700+menu items hosts can build from in the Event Portal
What we do
Two ways in. One standard: it has to work on the floor.
Invest
We back early teams solving hospitality problems with technology. Capital, hands-on advisory from people who run venues, and a real floor to test on.
We have invested in all three ventures below.
Ventures
Three ventures, all built and backed by us.
Each maps to one of our focus areas: smart operations, marketplaces, guest experience and social.
Event Portal
Host and venue operations
One portal where the host builds the menu from the venue's real packages, manages the guest list and seating, and sees the placecard screens update at the ballroom doors. Sales managers see every change live. Built with L.A. Banquets across two venues and spinning out as a standalone product.
ProofIn production at two venues, every event week
Vendor OS
Venue vendor network
Lets event venues run their preferred-vendor network as a business: hosts book curated vendors through the venue, every referral is attributed to the event, and payouts split between vendor, venue and platform on one rail. Starting with AV and lighting at L.A. Banquets.
StatusIn build; first vendor mixer at The Landmark, January 2027
MEDam
Medical travel
A platform connecting patients with providers abroad, starting with Armenia. Hospitality Fund provides capital and operating leadership, with engineering through a development partner.

Approach
From a problem on the floor to a product other operators pay for.
- 01
Find
We surface the problems worth solving from inside operations: the ones that move guest experience, efficiency or margin at scale.
- 02
Build
Capital plus sector know-how shortens the road from prototype to proven product. We test on real events, not demos.
- 03
Scale
A network of hospitality owners and operators accelerates adoption once a product has earned it.
- Smart operations
- Guest experience
- Marketplaces
- Social
About
Started inside the venues.
Running events for hundreds of guests a night exposes the gaps generic software leaves: seating, menus, vendors, guest screens, all held together by spreadsheets and people. We built the tools we needed, then saw other operators needed them too.
Along the way we met founders solving adjacent problems and backed the ones who understood the floor as well as the code. Hospitality Fund exists to take ideas from a working operation to a product other operators will pay for.
