Two college sophomores, Avante Price and Eli Taylor-Lemire, started building Posh right in their dorm room. Their vision was straightforward—create a platform that makes event scaling accessible to anyone. By October 2020, they'd launched their first version. The momentum kept building, and by May 2021, both founders decided to fully commit. They dropped out and closed a $1.5M funding round to accelerate growth. What started as a side project became a serious play in the events space, attracting investor confidence in their model and execution speed.
