Easol is the all-in-one platform for experience commerce, powering travel businesses, festivals, and event creators to sell directly on their own websites with integrated booking, payment, and marketing tools. Founded in 2017 by Ben and Lisa Simpson who previously organized the Rise Festival, the London-based company addresses the pain of using multiple third-party platforms by offering a unified solution that enables creators to maintain data ownership and reduce transaction fees. The company has demonstrated strong growth with creators increasing 10x since March 2021, customer base growing 913%, and transactions up 50x. Easol recently raised $30M in Series A funding in 2024 led by Tiger Global and opened its first US office in New York, serving experience creators in over 135 countries including major brands like Afro Nation, Wanderlust, and Defected.
