Built by people who ran these events.
Karsenics was founded by two event directors with years of combined experience running festivals, parades, and community events. They didn't observe the operational problem from the outside. They lived it, built workarounds for it, and eventually built the platform they wished existed.
Most events are running on tools built for someone else.
Eventbrite is for ticket buyers. Salesforce is for sales teams. Asana is for software companies. None of them were built for the event director managing 200 vendor applications, 60 parade contingents, and a volunteer team of 400.
The result is operational patchwork: spreadsheets for registration, email for contracts, a different tool for volunteers, and nothing talking to anything else.
Everything here was built for this job and nothing else.
Free to your organization. Paid by your participants.
Karsenics charges a flat fee per registration, paid by exhibitors and parade contingents at checkout, not by your organization. You keep 100% of what you collect. And when Karsenics is profitable, 20% of net profit goes back to the organizations that generated it.
How we think about this work.
Community first
We serve nonprofit and community organizations exclusively. No corporate events, no for-profit producers. That focus is intentional and permanent.
Operational dignity
Small staffs and volunteer teams deserve the same tools as large institutions. Budget size shouldn't determine operational quality.
Shared success
The Community Growth Fund returns 20% of annual net profit to client organizations, pro-rated by registrations generated.
