AI-native operating system that orchestrates
communities IRL.

First Round · $2.5M · San Francisco · May 2026

The current IRL apps serve events,
not communities.

Today's event apps
  • Event apps are white labeled directories
  • Spam & shitty UX.
  • Deleted when the event ends.
What we see
  • The event is where the community gathers.
  • Communities outlast events.
  • We build for the communities to coordinate before, during, and in between events.

Mixies is an AI native platform
that orchestrates IRL communities.

We start at conferences, where communities have the worst tools and the highest willingness to pay.

No cold start

5,000 people / event paying $500+, sponsors paying $10K-$150K.

Incumbents can't pivot

Cvent and Whova sell per-event SaaS licenses. Pivoting to a free-for-organizers marketplace cannibalizes their revenue. Innovator's dilemma.

95% Whova install rate

App-install is $4 CPI on app stores. At each event we inherit 3k-100k users for free.

"Mixie surfaced data we didn't have before, we're using it to sell 2026 sponsorships."

Vidsummit

Mixie made meaningful matches between attendees, one intro led to a $22K brand deal.

Mixie spotted an unmet interest 24h before the event and organized a travel creator meetup that was oversubscribed w 60 attendees.

Confs are a 3-sided marketplace,
that Mixie rebuilds from the AI up.

Old Way
Attendees
Pay $1,000s to meet the right people, download garbage apps, miss the perfect connection
Sponsors
Pay $10K-$150K for a booth. Zero attribution.
Organizers
Event app is a cost center. Horrible UX. Little data.
Mixies' Way
Attendees
Mixie orchestrates attendees to the right people, panels, booths. And continues after the event.
Sponsors
Mixie drives qualified foot traffic to their booth.
Organizers
Mixie saves them 90% of time, helps generate more revenue and surfaces actionable data.

This was impossible 24 months ago.

What's changed in the world is that for the first time in history personalization at scale is possible. One AI can talk to 100k ppl and route them to outcomes IRL for marginal costs

Gaming spent twenty years perfecting how to orchestrate human behavior.

AI was the missing piece to run that OS on real life, and JT launched the most valuable instance of it, the Season Pass at Dota2. Games built on this orchestration layer generated $100B+ (Call of Duty, LoL, Fortnite. 3 billion downloads).

We're bringing it IRL, AI-native

Every interaction makes our AI orchestration smarter
and user profiles compound.

We're raising $2.5M on SAFEs to deploy
across 150 large conferences

Discord proved the category for digital communities.
We're building it for IRL communities.

They won by treating communities as persistent, not disposable.
