What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?
Before launching HeySummit, I ran a digital agency and launched several SaaS products. Through that journey, I saw first-hand how difficult it can be to consistently generate leads, build authority, and drive revenue - especially without a big team or tech support. HeySummit was born out of that pain point: I wanted a repeatable way to create impactful, content-driven experiences that grow an audience and a business.
What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?
HeySummit isn’t critically dependent on any single third-party tool. Instead, we integrate with a wide range of popular video and streaming platforms (including Zoom, YouTube Live, StreamYard, Vimeo, and more) so our users can choose the setup that works best for them. Our flexibility is part of what makes HeySummit so adaptable to different event types and formats.
Where is your customer data stored?
Customer data is securely stored in the US using encrypted infrastructure and strict access controls. We take data protection seriously and only work with trusted providers that meet high security and privacy standards. Customers have full control over their data and can access, manage, or delete it at any time through their account.

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?
HeySummit was born out of real frustration. I had launched several SaaS products and ran a digital agency, and every time we tried to build an audience or launch something new, it felt like starting from scratch. I wanted a better way to generate leads, build authority, and drive revenue - something scalable, repeatable, and content-driven.
That’s when I realized the power of virtual events. Workshops, summits, courses - they weren’t just content. They were momentum builders. But actually setting them up? A total mess.
HeySummit was created to solve that. I’m passionate about it because I know how hard it is to grow something from the ground up - and I believe that creators, coaches, and educators deserve better tools to turn their knowledge into impact and income.
What problem is your product solving and how?
Running a virtual event should be a powerful way to grow your audience and revenue - but for most people, it’s overwhelming and inefficient. You’re stuck stitching together landing pages, ticketing tools, email platforms, video streams, and analytics - just to launch one event.
HeySummit solves this by giving you everything you need in one platform: flexible event formats, built-in monetization, automation tools, speaker management, and more. What sets us apart is our focus on simplicity without sacrificing power - you can launch anything from a single workshop to a multi-day summit or on-demand course, without needing tech skills or a big team.
What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?
We’re excited to grow the HeySummit community with smart, creative users who can push the platform in new ways. Our #1 goal is to learn from Sumo-lings - what they build, how they use HeySummit, and where we can improve. We’re looking for feedback, use cases, and real-world insight to help us shape the next stage of the product, while giving early adopters incredible value in return.
What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?
If the campaign goes well, we’ll reinvest the revenue into product development, customer onboarding, and marketing - so we can reach more creators and continue improving the experience. We’ll use feedback from Sumo-lings to shape upcoming features and refine the platform. Long term, we’re focused on helping users run recurring events, build evergreen content libraries, and create sustainable audience + revenue growth engines.
Q: I picked up HeySummit codes in the 2019 AppSumo deal—can I upgrade them to the 2025 deal?
A: Absolutely! 👋 You now have full flexibility:
Convert some or all 2019 codes → 2025 codes
Email support@heysummit.com with the exact codes you’d like to convert. We’ll do a straight one-for-one swap (2019 benefits are replaced by 2025 benefits).
Keep any 2019 codes you love
Keep enjoying their original perks—no action needed.
Mix-and-match
Because AppSumo limits every account to five purchased codes per deal, partial conversion lets you do fun combos.
Example:
• You own 5× 2019 codes → convert 2 of them → buy 3× 2025 codes → end up with 3× 2019 + 5× 2025 codes for the best of both worlds (total of 8 codes’ worth of perks).
Once converted, a code can’t be switched back, so choose the blend that serves your event goals best!
Launch summits, webinars, courses, and workshops with a user-friendly virtual event platform
