The Side of the Table That Says Yes.
For years, the sponsorship ecosystem has been entirely one-sided. Event organizers waste hundreds of hours sending decks into black-hole generic email inboxes, completely blind to how a brand actually operates, communicates, or pays.
VettDeck was founded to level the playing field. Having sat as an agent and an in-house corporate brand marketer who personally managed multi-million dollar budgets and wrote the sponsorship checks, I built this platform to give organizers the peer-driven data and strategic blueprints they need to execute at the highest enterprise level.
Our story
VettDeck was created to fill a void in sponsorship. Our founder spent years as an agent and in-house brand marketer — one of the people who actually wrote the sponsorship checks. That seat at the table is the most insightful view in the industry, and it shapes everything VettDeck does.
Determining what brand to prospect can be a daunting task. We simplified it with a data-driven, crowdsourced solution. The platform runs on a credit system — earn credits by writing honest reviews, spend them to unlock verified contacts and decision-makers. The more the community contributes, the sharper the intel becomes for every organizer.
Today, VettDeck has helped properties and event organizers secure over 3,000 sponsorship and partnership deals, raising over $10M in funding across clients including Unilever, Google, Bacardi, Angel's Envy, and the City of Charlotte.
