Event Collaboration AI | Unified event coordination

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you land 100 event planners at $65/mo by month 12, that's $78k ARR - but seasonal churn and a vague AI pitch give you roughly a 13% shot at getting there, meaning expected value is negative in year one.

Go-to-market motion

Cold outbound via LinkedIn and email to boutique event agencies and corporate event managers (250-500 person companies without Cvent licenses), offering a 30-day free trial during peak season (Sept-Nov), targeting 15 demos/month → 3 closes/month at $69/mo avg.

Key risks

Event planning is inherently project-based and seasonal - planners disengage between events, making monthly churn brutally high unless annual plans are pushed hard at signup
The AI 'coordination' value prop is fuzzy; if it's glorified task tracking without real vendor email/calendar sync, users churn when they realize a Notion template does 80% of it for free
Cvent, Planning Pod, and Bizzabo dominate the space that pays - the remaining SMB market has low willingness to pay above $50/mo and a high tolerance for spreadsheets
