The event ticketing experience has understandably undergone many changes as technology has improved.

Anyone who has ever lived in or moved to a big city understands the difficulties of not only finding a place to live, but the right people to live with in order to ensure that their new living experience will be peaceful, safe, and enjoyable. Thankfully, now there is Roomi, an app that matches roommates based on housing needs and personality. The app works for those who need to find someone who can move in and split rent as well as those moving to a city who need a new place to live. Anyone with an available space can list it on Roomi, but anyone who does must undergo a full assessment and verification before doing so. With the ability to view photos and learn a potential roommates’ like and dislikes as well as his or her personality, some have referred to Roomi as “Tinder for roommates.”

Essentially, SparkGig is a platform that allows users to book talent based upon review systems and the type of event while giving people with special skills a way to utilize them and receive payment for it. In doing so, the startup ensures the best match between the host, his or her guests, and the performer.
