SQUATCHFOOTMEDIA
Field Notes

Built by people who've worked the door.

Squatchfoot Media makes the software event producers run on. We know it works because we're producers ourselves — we built it to run CrimeWave, our own true-crime cruise, and it held.

How it started

We were the frustrated customer.

Before we were a software company, we were producing CrimeWave — a true-crime cruise. We got buried under five tools that didn't talk: a box office that didn't understand cabins, a bar that wanted cash mid-ocean, and a schedule nobody could find at sea.

So we built our own. The box office first, then the app, then every piece the boat needed to run without a signal. CrimeWave sailed on it bow to stern — and for once, the software got quieter as the night got louder.

Other producers saw it and wanted in. That's how Squatchfoot Media became a platform: eight tools that share one event, built by people who still run their own — and still test every feature on CrimeWave first.

  • 01
    The producer's on our side Clear fees, fast payouts, no lock-in. Your audience and your data stay yours.
  • 02
    One event, one truth Ticketing, app, and ops share a spine — no re-keying, no drift between tools.
  • 03
    Calm under load On-sales and doors are the loud moments. Our software gets quieter, not louder.
  • 04
    Ship what we'd use We've worked the events we build for. If it wouldn't help at 2am, it doesn't ship.

The tracks so far

Where we've been.

A young company moving fast. Here's the trail.

  1. 2025
    CrimeWave, the hard way

    We produce our true-crime cruise on five tools that don't talk to each other. Never again.

  2. 2025
    We build our own box office

    SquatchPass starts as CrimeWave's internal ticketing — because nothing off the shelf understood cabins.

  3. 2026
    The whole boat runs on it

    App, payments, and ops follow. CrimeWave sails bow to stern on software we built for ourselves.

  4. 2026
    We open it up

    Other producers ask to use it. Squatchfoot Media becomes a platform — eight tools, one event.

  5. 2026
    Still patient zero

    Every feature is tested on CrimeWave first. If it can't survive a cruise with no signal, it doesn't ship.
