About this Founding Business Development Representative (BDR) - Marketplace role at Perfect Venue

Perfect Venue · Onsite · San Francisco Office

About Us 

The more AI does, the more people want to be in the same room. The retirement party. The rehearsal dinner. The offsite where a team that has only met over video finally sits at one table.

Someone has to make those gatherings happen, and today that person is drowning. Private events and group dining are an $80 billion market in the United States, and most of it still runs on email chains and spreadsheets or legacy software.

 

At Perfect Venue we are on a mission to bring communities together by making it effortless to plan events. We combine intuitive software with AI agents that make it easy for venues to increase sales, save hours every week, and bring their communities together.

 

We are backed by top investors and operators like the Hustle Fund, Defy.vc, Amity Ventures and are used by thousands of venues nationwide from Michelin star restaurants to your favorite bar.

    • Collaborate with venues to confirm details and resolve challenges.

    • Build strong relationships with event planners to drive repeat business.

  • Marketplace Curation

    • Ensure that Perfect Venue’s marketplace listings are up to date and accurate.

    • Provide product recommendations to improve the marketplace experience.
