Company profile
researched Sep 2026Movez is a technology company operating a mobile social event platform for nightlife and private events, distributed on iOS by Movez Technologies, Inc. under the Social Networking category. The consumer side of the app lets attendees browse events within a geographic radius on an integrated Google Maps view, register for events, and receive a QR-code ticket stored in the ticket tab of the user profile. Users can follow and message one another, share events within friend groups, and request Uber rides to and from events through a ride-sharing integration.
On the hosting side, the platform targets venues, promoters, fraternities and social organizations. Hosts can publish events either to private friend groups or to the public Movez community, set event fees and collect ticket payments through integrated payment and card-processing services, collect RSVP data for free events, set gender-ratio preferences, and co-organize events with other user profiles that share event-management responsibilities. Earlier releases added features such as host payouts, a QR-code scanner for entry, a user role manager, Apple Pay support and automated host approval.
Business model
The app is distributed free to end users; hosts set and collect their own event fees and ticket payments through payment and card-processing integrations built into the platform, with host payout functionality provided by Movez.
