There is no shortage of online guides devoted to supplying information about various entertainment venues. The difficulty is staying abreast of the ever-shifting events that occur. Zipscene, launched in Cincinnati in 2004 by Sameer Mungur and partner Jaydev Karande, streamlined and simplified the events-listings game by aggregating the information into one easy-to-use portal. Users found they could plan their entertainment calendars simply by browsing event types, dates, venues or location. Once Zipscene found its groove in Cincinnati, the owners focused their efforts on building a scalable solution that could be exported to additional markets. The service has expanded into 15 new markets with a goal of having a presence in the top 30 U.S. cities.
