The experience economy is transforming how the world does business. Pop-ups are outpacing storefronts, neighborhood festivals are selling out within minutes, and everyday hosts are turning their local streets into something attendees will remember years later. We’re starting to see the value those memories hold, and we think that this surge’s value lies not only in the money it can move, but in its power to bring people together, face-to-face. At Metro to Laurel, we are fans first: fans of the scrappy promoter hunting for permits, the art collective wiring lights in preparation, the local vendor still packing up all their wares hours after the last customer has already left. Our vision is to hand those unsung builders the tools and reliable data they need to keep sparking those connections, because we understand the memories and networks they help create, are some of the most powerful.

Working closely with promoters, vendors, and venue managers revealed to us a common truth: every standout event relies on a dense web of relationships, yet the crucial connection for growth often remains just out of reach. That insight is why we’re building Supernode: an AI engine that powers all the infrastructure of connection, mapping organizers, venues, brands, vendors, and influencers into one living network. We will help shoulder the heavy lifting of networking, sourcing venues and vendors, pairing organizers with the right brand partners and influencers, and equipping brands with real-time spend intelligence so every marketing dollar works even harder. The mission is clear: shorten the distance from idea to real-world moment. Creators focus on their vision while Supernode aggregates every resource required. By connecting the people who connect people, Supernode powers the next generation of unforgettable events.

We are building Supernode as an open, data-driven backbone for the entire experience economy, and we are now inviting new partners to help expand its reach. Operators of venues, event producers, vendors, brands, and cultural tastemakers are all welcome to integrate and benefit from its real-time intelligence. Likewise, engineers, designers, storytellers, and data scientists who share our ambition to strengthen in-person connection will find ample opportunities to contribute. We work transparently, publish our findings, and measure progress against clear, tangible metrics. Whether you are ready to deploy, collaborate, or simply observe until the moment is right, we look forward to working with you to shape the next era of live experiences.
