From Stealth to 50+ Enterprises: KNOT Technologies Bags $1M Pre-Seed to Modernize Global Event Access

KNOT Technologies has emerged from stealth with a $1 million pre-seed round led by A15, aiming to transform ticketing and access control through AI-native infrastructure. The funding will fuel product development, international expansion, and deeper integrations across the live events ecosystem.

The startup’s platform addresses long-standing flaws in ticketing, including fraud, lack of visibility, and revenue leakage into unregulated resale markets. By deploying an AI layer that authenticates identity, governs distribution, and tracks demand in real time, KNOT enables organisers to restrict unauthorized transfers and build transparent relationships with fans.

Founded by executives with experience at Meta, Goldman Sachs, and Mubadala, KNOT has already secured over 50 enterprise customers following early rollout. Research across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa confirmed widespread challenges with legacy systems, reinforcing the need for modern solutions.

Conclusion:

With strong investor backing and early adoption, KNOT Technologies is positioning itself as the infrastructure powering next-generation events, promising more secure, seamless, and data-driven experiences for organisers and attendees worldwide.
