About Hive

Hive connects ticketing data with marketing tools for venues, promoters and festivals. Founded in 2014 by Ian Roberts and Patrick Hannigan, the company announced US$27 million in Series B financing from Frontier Growth on October 21, 2026. BetaKit reported that most of the transaction was secondary capital buying out an earlier investor, with a small primary portion for product development and go-to-market work. The full amount should not be read as new operating capital.
