The team
Gelatin is a two-sided booking marketplace for DJs & Friends and venues — built on verified draw, patron feedback, clear pricing, and payments that protect both sides of the night.
Why we exist
Venues book on gut feel. DJs chase invoices. Everyone loses time when the room doesn't match the pitch. Gelatin gives both sides a shared record — rolling draw metrics, escrow-protected payments, and a booking flow that respects how hospitality actually works.
We're launching in Atlanta and building for everywhere serious DJs grow their income and their reputation.
What we stand for
Draw metrics come from confirmed attendance, not polished portfolios. We build trust with data venues and DJs can actually rely on.
No platform cut on talent fees. A flat $7 booking fee, paid by the venue, only when a booking happens.
Gelatin started from nights on both sides of the booth — booking talent, running shifts, and watching what actually fills a room.
