Rumor Secures $3 Million Investment From Pete Davidson And Others For Event Platform Expansion

Rumor, the RSVP and invite platform focused on culture-driven events, has raised $3 Million, backed by a mix of entertainment figures, operators, and investors, including Pete Davidson, Palm Tree Crew, Lucy Guo, Gracie Hunt, Stanley Tang, Raissa Gerona, Steve Galanis, and others. The platform positions itself as an enterprise-grade “invite-to-recap” system for brands and curated events, combining social data, recommendation tools, profile enrichment, and post-event content tracking in a single workflow. Already used by brands like Spotify, Revolve, and Von Dutch, Rumor is leaning into its positioning as a data-first operating system for experiential culture and plans to expand its tools to improve guest discovery and audience connectivity beyond its existing network.
