In 2001, he co-founded digital money transfer service Xoom and led angel investments in companies like PayPal, Pinterest, and Airbnb. Kevin, a former graduate of Stanford and Oxford University, spent his first few years building products in the dotcom era and investing in other startups as a VC. Prior to starting Eventbrite, both Kevin and Julia gained key experiences that helped them to navigate and balance the foundation of both their family and business. To understand this madness, let’s roll back the tape a little. And just to make things a little more complicated, they welcomed their first child two years all while bootstrapping their company and trying to make payroll. The next year, in 2006, they started Eventbrite. They hit it off right away and got engaged two years later. Julia and Kevin met in 2003 when the pair were seated next to each other at a wedding of mutual friends.

Eventbrite, headquartered in San Francisco, was founded in 2006 by Julia Hartz (CEO), Kevin Hartz, and Renaud Visage.
