Fête (pronounced "fet") is a mobile app available on iOS and Android that lets users plan events collaboratively.
Fête was founded by Sanket Shah and Raj Parikh in January 2014 with $200,000 in seed capital. The company launched the Fête iOS app in December 2014. Fête competes with other event planning services such as Evite, Eventbrite, Doodle, Punchbowl, and Paperless Post.[1] However, the app is notable as the first app to offer collaborative event planning functionality through text messages.[citation needed]
Background[edit]
According to the company founders, 33% of events planned online are planned using email, 30% using text messaging, 15% using Facebook, and 22% using other tools—all of which are not solely designed for planning events.[2][unreliable source?]
The company is part of the 'native-social local mobile' advertising market, which was worth $3.3B in the U.S. in 2014, and is forecast to reach $9.9B in 2018.[3]
Awards[edit]
Fête was recognized for 'Best use of social media' at the 2015 Atlanta Mobile Awards.[4][non-primary source needed]
