Why Karven exists
The events industry runs on trust, and it needs tools to guarantee it.
Last-minute cancellations, services that are not delivered, money advanced with no guarantee: too often, putting on an event means stress and uncertainty.
These situations are not isolated; they keep happening. The industry still runs on promises and verbal agreements. Karven Network is the infrastructure that lets you verify who you engage, protect what you sign and secure what you pay.
Karven Network builds trust between everyone in the events industry.
What Karven does
Karven verifies the legal identity and existence of every party before any deal is made.
Karven creates your contracts and binds both parties to them in a clear, signed document.
Karven records your payments, deposits and deadlines in the contract, clearly set out and signed.
Three functions, one goal: managing your custom contracts in just a few clicks.
Our ambition
To become the reference infrastructure for the events industry: the foundation on which promoters, artists, providers and venues build lasting relationships, with less risk of non-payment, last-minute cancellations or bad-faith partners.
Karven adds no red tape. It is a discreet, effective safeguard that works in the background, so you can focus on making your events a success.
A note from the founder
I have been creating events for more than five years, and I love what I do. Bringing artists, teams and an audience together for one night is, for me, the best part of it.
This past winter, with my partners, we designed and relaunched a venue from the ground up: international suppliers, a carefully curated DJ line-up, every detail of the décor considered. The result lived up to our goals: a subtle blend of contemporary style and a welcoming atmosphere, and a delighted audience all winter long.
However, the partner who entrusted the project to us did not pay us, and did not pay our suppliers either. Our agreement was not enough to protect us: we had not anticipated this.
Afterwards, other professionals shared similar experiences with us.
With that in mind, I decided to found Karven Network: to give everyone the means to achieve their ambitions by simplifying contractual processes and encouraging trust and transparency.
What matters most: creating great events with peace of mind.
