Julia Hartz

Julia Hartz co-founded Eventbrite with Kevin Hartz and Renaud Visage in 2006 and became chief executive on April 21, 2016. This profile records those roles historically. The March 10, 2026 SEC filing reports the completed Bending Spoons acquisition and her board resignation at closing; it says she would step down as CEO immediately after the 2025 Form 10-K filing and assist the transition. The March 12 annual-report note repeats the expected executive resignation. Neither passage establishes an exact final employment day or a new current office.

Eventbrite’s self-service ticketing model is the substantive live-events connection. Its 2016 appointment announcement describes a platform used by organisers and reports two million events a year and $5 billion in cumulative gross ticket sales over its first decade. Those are dated company statements across event categories, not concert-only revenue, personal wealth or a current annual run rate. The cofounder list is retained in full rather than reducing a collaborative platform history to a single executive.

The SEC chronology matters because a company’s old biography can continue calling an executive CEO after a transaction has changed governance. Here the completed merger, board departure and anticipated executive transition are separate facts. Live Index uses the filings to avoid presenting stale promotional copy as a current role. The linked Eventbrite register and Kevin Hartz profile distinguish the company’s operating history from founders’ later positions. This record supplies a sourced account of ticketing infrastructure and leadership succession, without asserting current equity holdings or an unverified post-acquisition position.
