New Strategic Investment: Gather and Vista Equity Partners

Looking back, it’s crazy to believe that Alex, Tom and I started Gather in my living room just over four years ago. Since then, we’ve moved offices (a lot!), hired 50+ onto our amazing team, grown our customer base to over 3,500 restaurants and venues nationwide, and consistently strived to build products that make life easier for those hosting and planning events.

Today, I’m excited to announce a strategic investment and partnership with Vista Equity Partners, a leading investment firm. We’re excited to partner with Vista to move faster, continuing to build amazing products, a world-class team, and an exceptional group of clients. We will continue to innovate in line with our core belief that planning life’s special events should be a seamless, fun experience – for everyone involved.

We are truly thankful to our clients – your support has enabled us to reach this point in our company’s lifecycle, and we’re excited to keep working hard to create and improve products that make your lives easier.

On behalf of the team, we are humbled and thrilled to embark on the next chapter of Gather. There is plenty more to come from us – we’re just getting started!
