About
Dandelion (https://dandelion.events) is a fee-free platform for events that matter: listings, flexible ticketing, check-in, feedback, and tools for co-created gatherings. Run by a not-for-profit worker co-op, fair source and open data on ATProto.
Impact
Dandelion makes soulful, regenerative events cheaper and easier to run. With no platform fees, money stays in communities. Gathering tools help people share work, costs and decisions—so everyone co-creates, not just attends.
Progress
193k tickets worth £7M+ sold. 16k+ events across 2,600 organisations. Recognised at the 2026 Open Social Awards. Live product: ticketing, co-created gatherings, orgs, ATProto. Organisers switching to a fee-free, co-op alternative to Luma.
Team
I'm Stephen Reid (https://stephenreid.net), founder and lead developer. Oxford physicist, complexity scientist, AI-trained. I organise events that matter (Futurecraft, Technological Metamodernism), and built the platform I wished existed.

Fund applications
Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
