Punchup Live Founder Envisions "Amazon of Live Entertainment"

In 2025, Punchup Live, a ticketing platform co-founded by Danny Frenkel and Alex Dajani in 2023, is making waves in the live entertainment industry. Frenkel, who spent 13 years at Facebook, has a bold vision for Punchup: to become the "Amazon of live entertainment."

Punchup is a data-driven platform that aims to address the challenges in the fragmented live event ticketing landscape. Frenkel explains that the current system often leaves comedians and other performers without control over their own audience data and ticket sales. Punchup seeks to consolidate this process, providing artists with insights into fan locations and engagement, as well as tools to directly communicate with their audience.
