In the heart of Uganda’s entertainment scene, where sold-out concerts and last-minute ticket scrambles are the norm, one startup is changing the game -Ticket Yo. What started as a bold idea by Ojera J. has grown into a powerhouse, reshaping how Ugandans experience events. Through the Youth Startup Academy Uganda (YSAU) program at Hive Colab, Ticket Yo received mentorship, company registration support, branding expertise, and business strategy guidance, turning a vision into a full-fledged enterprise. But let’s talk impact because the numbers speak for themselves!

In just one year, Ticket Yo has grown from a two-person team to seven, creating job opportunities for Uganda’s youth. They’ve powered 100+ events across the country, gained recognition in HiPipo’s 40 Days 40 FinTechs for driving digital inclusion, and secured high-profile partnerships, handling ticketing for major concerts at Uganda’s biggest venues, including Cricket Oval. But that’s not all, Ticket Yo has also caught the attention of investors. They’re among the top six startups shortlisted by RAIN (Redsalt Angel Investment Network), proving that their growth isn’t just exciting; it’s investment-worthy.

Their success is built on three key pillars: innovation, resilience, and an obsession with seamless event experiences. Whether it’s simplifying ticket access, enhancing security, or creating a smoother booking process, Ticket Yo is making every event unforgettable. As they continue to scale, one thing is certain, Uganda’s entertainment industry will never be the same. This is just the beginning.
