 Cvent Background

Cvent, Inc. (www.cvent.com) is the leading On-Demand software application for online event registration and management, websurveying, and event emarketing.  We focus on helping event planners, marketers, and human resource professionals organize and market their conferences and events as well as gather business intelligence from internal and external stakeholders.  The meetings industry is the 22nd largest industry in the U.S, and is valued at over $50 billion dollars per year.  The surveying or market research industry is an $8 billion dollar per year market.

 

Company Background:  We started the company in 1999 and currently have close to 400 employees.  The company has been cash flow positive and thus debt-free every month for the past 60 months.  Based in McLean, Virginia, we expect to have over 425+ employees by the end of 2008.  We have grown 50% every year for the past 7 years and we are the only major company in our industry that is consistently profitable.  We have a significant international operation and about 20% of the US staff will have an opportunity to go overseas on several-months-long assignments.  In 2006 and 2007, we sent over 50 US employees for short-term assignments in our international office. 

 

Management Team:  We have eleven people in senior management.  We are very experienced in our particular areas as ten of the eleven members of senior management have been with the company since inception almost nine years ago.  We are all in the early prime of our careers and most of us have advanced degrees (Harvard Business School, Wharton, Georgetown Law, and Duke Law).  We believe in hiring people based on talent, not years of experience.  We are motivated and very hungry to grow our company.  We promote people on performance and we invest aggressively in our people.

 

Investors:  We raised $17 million in venture capital in 2000.  Our investors include institutional venture capitalists and angel investors such as the CEO of Nortel, CEO of Nextel, CEO of Bell Atlantic, CEO of AOL, and worldwide Chairman of McKinsey Consulting.  We have over 30 publicly traded CEO’s who have personally invested in the company; we view this as an endorsement of the product and team.

 

Customers:  Cvent has over 3,000 customers.  Nearly 70% of our revenue comes from corporate customers.  Approximately 30% of our revenue comes from associations, non-profits and universities.  Representative customers include KMPG, The World Bank, Rolls Royce, American Marketing Association, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Yahoo, Harvard University, United Way, BMW, and Siemens.

 

Products: Cvent is built on a Microsoft .net platform and is an On-Demand Application Service Provider (ASP). We have invested $25 million in building our products and have run hundreds of thousands of events, millions of event registrations, and hundreds of millions of email invitations. Cvent offers a next generation product suite of Event Management (online registration, eMarketing, reporting, travel capabilities, and supplier sourcing), Web Surveys, and Email Marketing.
