Event Go — a neutral event coordination and service marketplace for Uganda. Turns an organiser's idea into a costed requirements list, sources vetted providers against it, and lets them compare offers — no commission, no escrow, providers keep 100% of the deal. # Event Go Event coordination and service marketplace for the Ugandan market. An organiser turns a vague idea ("500-guest wedding in Kampala on 30 August") into a costed, structured requirements list, sources providers against it, compares offers, and runs the job. Providers get qualified, well-specified opportunities instead of cold inbound. Event Go connects and equips — it is not a party to the deal. ## What makes it different | | | |---|---| | **No commission** | Zero cut of the organiser↔provider transaction. Ever. | | **No escrow, no custody** | Money moves between organiser and provider directly. | | **No dispute resolution** | No adjudication, no refund rulings, no cancellation engine. | | **Requirements matrix engine** | Scope answers → a costed line-item requirements list, not a vague brief. | | **Provider ROI dashboard** | Providers can see the leads and connections Event Go generated for them. | | **Revenue** | Provider subscriptions, featured placement, organiser premium — not a transaction cut. | Full reasoning behind these decisions lives in `EventGo-System-Architecture.md`, the source of truth for the product.
