# Cadenzo

Ready to bring live entertainment booking out of the dark ages? So are we. 

## Elevator pitch
We bring event booking out of the dark ages. Venues and artists could continue spending 30+ hours a month planning their shows, managing contracts and payments, messaging back and fourth with artists, and struggling to find new talent or places to book. Or they could use Cadenzo. We allow local artists and venues to book better shows faster. Our tech handles the hassles and logistics of booking shows so artists and venues can spend less time booking and more time building a business.

Introducing Cadenzo: we make booking shows easy, fast, and fair.Venues and artists desperately need a tool to free up their time.Your favorite local venues and artists across the US are losing tons of time. Why? Because they have never been given a tool to operationalize their booking.
