Our mission

Make every event discoverable.

Every city is full of events that never reach the people who would enjoy them most. We build the tools that solve that problem — helping residents discover more to do, organizers reach larger audiences, and destinations become more vibrant.

Our story

It started with a simple insight.

Cities and destinations are full of events — concerts, markets, exhibitions, sports, and community gatherings. Yet the systems designed to promote them were fragmented, outdated, and highly manual. Organizers entered the same information again and again. Calendars were incomplete. Residents and visitors missed experiences they would have loved.

In 2020, we launched Cruncho Events to change that. The idea was simple: give organizers the tools to publish events themselves, give administrators an efficient way to maintain quality, and give residents a single place to discover everything happening around them — regardless of website, language, or channel.

What started with Swedish municipalities has grown into an international platform used by more than 50 cities, destinations, and media organizations across Europe and North America. And we haven't lost a single customer.

We didn't build Cruncho for the sake of building technology. We built it because we believe every event deserves to be found.
