three lengths. pick one, paste it, done. no need to ask.

one line · 24 words

tired is a ticketing platform for listening rooms, warehouse sets, supper clubs, and the kind of night you'd actually tell a friend about.

short · 58 words

tired is a ticketing platform for small- and mid-sized cultural events — listening rooms, warehouse sets, supper clubs, readings, dance parties. organizers get transparent fees, next-morning payouts, and a scanner that works offline. buyers get a ticket that actually arrives, a refund policy that's real, and no dark-pattern add-ons. founded 2024 in brooklyn by ada keen and miles odera.

long · 118 words

tired is a ticketing platform built for the organizers of small- and mid-sized cultural events — 80-person listening rooms, 600-person warehouse nights, 40-seat supper clubs, readings, recitals, and dance parties where the room itself is the point. it replaces spreadsheets, four-tab checkouts, and the eventbrites of the world with three things: transparent fees shown line-by-line on every quote, next-morning stripe-connect payouts with an instant option, and a scanner app that runs fully offline when the venue's wi-fi inevitably dies.

founded in 2024 in brooklyn by ada keen (previously product at resy) and miles odera (previously staff engineer at block), tired is based in london, new york, and berlin. 1,840+ organizers. 482,000+ tickets issued lifetime.

quote, unattributed.

use these verbatim — they've been cleared. attribute to ada keen, ceo, unless you want to pull from a bio below.

"the rooms we care about don't get bigger. the tools around them should get better." — ada keen, ceo
"a ticket is a promise that a night will happen. software should get out of the way of that." — miles odera, cto

founder bios.

ada keen

co-founder · ceo

ada previously led consumer product at resy, where she built the table-hold and waitlist systems used by 40,000+ restaurants. before that: product at eater, and five years running a warehouse venue in bushwick called the annex (rsvp list only, never profitable, very good).

based in brooklyn. available for interviews on email.

miles odera

co-founder · cto

miles was a staff engineer at block, on the merchant payments platform. before that: stripe atlas, and a year at a small fintech in lagos. he has opinions about idempotency keys and will tell you about them if asked.

based in london. prefers async but will get on a call for a publication you can name.
