THE COMPANY
FEVO’s mission is to rehumanize online shopping — by which we mean, “make it engaging and fun rather than lonely and isolating.”

We are doing that by building innovative, highly social e-commerce tools for the biggest brands in the world, allowing their shoppers to interact with the people they care about throughout the purchase process. Our team is made up of innovators and self-starters who move fast, love what they do and consider the status quo a sworn enemy. We are currently the dominant market leader in live events and entering expansive new categories including fashion, luxury, retail, beauty, home and travel.
