Start A Nightlife App

A nightlife app connects travelers and nightlife lovers, helping them discover the best party in town, broadcast their night to their social media followers, and help them book events and guest lists. A nightlife app can enable users to:

Check what is happening around the city over the weekend
Check out where friends are hanging out
Filter events by venue type, music genre, and neighborhood
See where their favorite DJs are spinning
Plan party schedule ahead of time

If you love the nightlife, you can turn your pleasure into a business by creating a nightlife app that shares information and details about parties going down in various cities or towns.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a nightlife app:

1. Discotech ($1.2M/year)

Realizing there was a gap in the market, Chen and his co-founders created Discotech, an app that simplifies event discovery, VIP table reservations, ticket purchases, and guest list sign-ups. Since surviving the COVID pandemic, Discotech has generated over $1 million per month in gross sales, with a net revenue of 10-15%.
