Founded by Jeff Osuji and Femi Masha
Ticketing, registration and marketing software built for the hosts who shape Black culture, so they earn from the events they create.
"Fifth Star Funds' investment in Eventnoire helped accelerate the development of our front end... Having their support changed my mindset and gave me a sense of pride knowing that I was not alone on this journey."
Jeff Osuji co-founded Eventnoire with Femi Masha in Chicago. Before the company, Jeff was the one his friends and family came to when they needed money. Eventnoire was our ninth check.
Updated September 2026.
Most ticketing platforms keep the attendee service fee. Eventnoire shares it back with the host, and pays organizers through Stripe as tickets sell rather than weeks afterward.
Event-goers on one side, and the organizers, creators and brands who host on the other.
The economics. Fees go back to the host and there are no processing fees on the payout.
Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If Eventnoire exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
Fund accounting for nonprofits, so money restricted to a purpose is tracked to that purpose.
Threat detection and encryption for critical infrastructure and the organizations legacy vendors ignore.
Buy and sell luxury and vintage goods in person, with the money held until the buyer has the item in hand.
Updates on the founders we back and the work behind the checks.
