          The Localist Story




           http://localist.com
Once upon a time…
In early 2008, Nate Mook and Myke
Nahorniak, Localist’s founders, were in Los
Angeles for a conference. Afterwards, they
wanted to go out to a cool bar in town.




        Myke and Nate, happy because they’re about to go to a cool
        bar.
Unfortunately…
         At the time, there was no way to
         see where the truly great places
         were, and equally
         important, where everyone else
         at the conference was planning
         to go.
Localist was born from that problem
Localist started as a destination site, serving as a resource
for metropolitan areas to help people discover:
•All the events that were happening
•Who was going
•What was going on right now




                                                                4
Despite huge interest from audiences
in our launch cities…
Creating and curating
content was an ongoing
challenge. Missing just a
single event made keeping
visitors returning a
challenge.




                                       5
That’s when we decided to license Localist
to our customers
                    • They know what events
                      to publish
                    • They don’t have the
                      resources to build a
                      calendar to manage
                      events as robustly as
                      they manage other
                      content




                                          6
We realized Localist could be put to
amazing use by universities
We’re now helping over 700,000 students find
events on campus.
But we’ve always received interest from
smaller organizations

They needed a
simpler online
event
calendar, and we
had to turn them
away.
