Every show your company
has ever built — one question away.
The institutional memory of a live production lives in one person’s head — and walks out the door when they do. Wavemist is the intelligence layer that keeps it, so every bid, every crew call, and every show gets smarter. The brain you wish your last TD left behind.

▌ what we’re seeing in the field
The problems that keep coming up.
Six problems we keep hearing from production teams. If two or more of these read like your week, you’re who we built this for.
▌ memory loss
Your last TD took 12 years of show history with them.
The amphitheater's rigging notes. The downtown theater's load-in quirks. The residency settlement math. All in their head, none in your archive.
▌ margin erosion
You bid $84K for a job you should have bid $76K.
You won. You lost margin. Without a price benchmark against the rest of the market, every win could be silently leaving money on the table.
▌ pricing opacity
Three vendors quoted the same gear. You can't tell which is competitive.
Identical rigs, thousands apart. Without aggregated industry pricing, procurement is guessing every time.
▌ winning recipes
The show down the street sold out. Yours didn't. You can't see why.
Every sell-out leaves a recipe — gear sheet, vendor mix, crew classifications, room layout, lead time. Without a way to spot the pattern across the industry, you're guessing at what works.
▌ staffing churn
Same gig, different night, different crew, different outcome.
No memory of who FOH'd the run that came in under hours. Every call is guesswork from the last gig.
▌ carbon exposure
Scope 3 reporting is now mandatory and you have no number.
Tour and event sustainability disclosures are landing. Your CO₂e per show is computable from gear + freight + power — if anyone's tracking it.
▌ the boring parts done right
What every procurement call asks about.
Works on the loading dock.
Open the app in a venue with no cell signal — every read still answers. Syncs when you're back online. Built offline-first because production happens in concrete basements.
Your data, exportable in one click.
Industry-standard formats. Your CFO's BI tools plug in tomorrow. If you ever leave, you take everything — contractually guaranteed.
Privacy you don't have to trust us on.
Any number we show across the industry is blended from at least five companies, so no single one is ever exposed. Your own data never leaves your account — your competitors can't see your bids, and you can't see theirs.
▌ industry report · first edition
The first State of Production report.
Anonymized industry economics from across the design-partner cohort we’re assembling. Median load-in times by venue class. Sub-rental rate distribution, by region. Crew labor by classification. What shows actually cost — not what got published.
Design partners get it first, redlines included. Public release follows by 60 days.

Every rate is decomposed across the factors that actually move a price — so you see why a number moved, not just that it did. The method is the part we don’t publish.

▌ questions
What Wavemist is, in plain terms.
- What is Wavemist?
- Wavemist is the live event intelligence platform — an AI-native system of record for how live shows are prepared, built, and executed. It keeps a production's institutional memory in one place, so it doesn't walk out the door when someone leaves.
- Who is Wavemist for?
- The teams that design, build, crew, and run live events — corporate AV shops, touring productions, theater, festivals, and brand experiences.
- What does Wavemist do?
- It turns a production's scattered documents, decisions, and labor into one queryable source of truth — so teams bid faster, build smarter, staff fairly, and measure their carbon footprint in real time.
- How is Wavemist different from event platforms like Cvent?
- Attendee-side platforms handle registration, ticketing, and marketing. Wavemist is built for the production side — how the show actually gets made, crewed, and run.
- Does Wavemist work offline?
- Yes. It's built offline-first, so it still answers in a venue with no signal and syncs when you're back online.
- Is Wavemist available yet?
- Wavemist is in private beta and opening a small design-partner round. You can request access on this page.
▌ design partner round
Opening the first cohort.
We’re opening a small design-partner round to harden the platform before public release. Design partners get hands-on access, founder time, redlines on the first report, and a permanent locked-in rate.
If you produce live events and want in before the round closes, drop your details below — we’ll get back the same week. Investors and press: there’s a door for you in the form, too.
