Founded by CEO Smita Saxena in 2012, Stanza, formerly known as SpotOn.it, makes calendar smarter, without creating yet another new app. Stanza's reinvented Add-to-Calendar button has already synced over 56 million sporting events to users' personal calendars. Stanza has closed $4.3 million in seed funding with participation from Metamorphic Ventures, Founder Collective, Tekton Ventures, Western Technology Investment and Stanford-StartX Fund, along with angel investors including ex-NFL players: Ronnie Lott & Harris Barton. The company has a professional sports client base with 300+ teams across the NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAA adopting the button. Stanza is now expanding beyond their professional sports background and opening up the product to communities of all sizes. Trying to manage dates, events, and attendance or engagement is a challenge for just about anyone, regardless of industry, and Stanza is solving that. Stanza is available now for a limited pre-order for a discounted price of $7/month (vs. $15/month retail) until late Summer 2015.
