Why we built shoWMe
shoWMe's founder is Ran Nir, a musician and industry professional who has worked as an artist, booker, artist manager, and within venues.
Across all these roles, he kept running into the same issue:
not a lack of talent or effort, but a system that makes collaboration harder than it should be.
What we see
An event starts with a simple idea.
A date, a venue, an artist.
Then everything spreads across emails, messages, spreadsheets, and calls.
Details change, but not everyone sees it.
Important information lives in different places.
Budgets stay unclear until the last moment.
Conversations disappear in threads.
Everyone is working on the same event, but from different places, with different information.
Not truly together.
What that leads to
When people don't share the same structure or visibility, trust becomes harder.
- Misalignment grows
- Decisions get delayed
- Transparency is limited
The industry operates more like a chain of handovers than real collaboration.
What we believe
We believe the live industry can work differently.
- More fair, through clearer structure and expectations
- More diverse, by lowering the barrier to operate
- More transparent, by making information visible and shared
- More connected, by bringing people into the same workflow
Why shoWMe exists
That is why we built shoWMe.
A system designed to bring the different sides of the industry into one shared way of working around each event.
Not to replace relationships,
but to support them with more clarity, transparency, and trust.
