Nigerian startup, Knit, launches event listing, ticketing app

Knit Technologies Limited, a Nigerian startup, has launched an event listing and ticketing app called ‘Knit’. 

In a statement on Saturday, the firm said the app went live on November 4, 2023.

The startup said the app is designed to make it easier for people to discover and attend events, connect with others who share their interests, and create and monetise their events.

Speaking at the launch, Fela Bank-Olemoh, the co-founder of Knit, said the app would allow users to attend exciting local events, from concerts and festivals to workshops and meetups.

With Knit, Bank-Olemoh said, event organisers are provided with all the tools they need to manage their events and sell tickets.

“We have a truly world-class app and we are more than thrilled to introduce the app to Nigeria and beyond. Our goal is to further simplify the process of both organising and attending events,” he said.

“However, our mission extends beyond the events themselves; it has always been about fostering meaningful connections within local communities.

“With Knit, we have an app that allows individuals to efficiently create or discover events, secure tickets to their favourite shows and establish meaningful connections.

“The app was born out of an understanding of the pain points within the events industry and a resolve to proffer solutions through distinctive features which allows event organisers to create events and sell out tickets fast.”

Bank-Olemoh also highlighted other features of the app such as social networking features, enabling users to chat, send videos, etc to their connections in-app, weather forecast feature for event organisers, and QR code integration.
