About Team Vento
A little about us…
Organising an event is the hard part. Protecting it should be easy.
We’re reinventing how events are protected. Why? Because we know how much it hurts when they’re not. We’re all about putting a stop to the things preventing event organisers getting cover that works for them.
Goodbye bamboozling policies and tired old processes! The future is event insurance that’s easy to grasp, simple to buy and fast to pay.
We’re combining people with real events experience, with sophisticated technology to help event organises prepare to run events safely. And if the worst happens, you can rely on us to step in and pick up the pieces.
About Vento’s beginnings…
46% of events had no form of event insurance in 2019. Mind blown!
Even though protecting your event costs no more than two pub lunches, thousands of events are still at risk. Why? Lengthy buying processes. Zero trust. High costs. Slow claims. The list goes on. Here’s how Vento is different…
⁃ No nonsense policies (backed by A-rated insurers)
⁃ Apply in minutes, on the app or online
⁃ We’re affordable, and pay claims fast
“I thought it was mad that half of event organisers had all the worries and sleepless nights I had, but without any form of protection…”
– Freddie Sparrow, Vento co-founder
Today, working with co-founder Lucy and a team of other experienced events people, Freddie’s vision for Vento is clear – make event insurance the easiest part of organising events, so nothing gets in the way of people just like them creating memorable experiences for their customers.
