Kevin Hartz

Kevin Hartz is Co-Founder & General Partner at A*, according to its current team page checked October 25, 2026. His live-event relevance is the earlier development of Eventbrite with Julia Hartz and Renaud Visage. Eventbrite’s April 2016 announcement dates their cofounding to 2006 and records Julia’s appointment as CEO, with Kevin remaining on the board and as Executive Chairman at that time. That is a historical statement, not his current Eventbrite title.

The documented transition helps separate founding, executive management and later investing. Eventbrite’s announcement describes a platform powering more than two million events annually at that date and processing $5 billion in gross ticket sales over the first decade. Both are company-scale statements spanning event categories. Ticket value moving through a platform is not the same as the platform’s revenue, and neither measure is a founder’s income. The profile does not use those figures as a present market share or a concert-only estimate.

The operating distinction also matters to venues and promoters. A self-service ticketing platform provides an organiser-facing distribution and transaction service; founding that platform does not establish ownership of the events it serves. Kevin’s A* role is verified independently through the firm’s own current listing, while the ticketing history remains attached to the original three cofounders and dated leadership transition. Live Index links the Eventbrite company record and Julia Hartz’s historical profile so readers can follow both corporate infrastructure and the changing personal roles without inventing a current ticket-company office or an undisclosed ownership percentage.
