OSLO, 24 September 2025 - TGC Capital Partners, the strategic investment arm of Gateway Group of Companies and your Growth Engineering Partner, today announced a strategic investment in Tappin, the Norwegian event-tech company providing an all-in-one platform for virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. The investment combines capital with revenue engineering and engineering capacity from Gateway’s global teams, deployed alongside Tappin’s founding team on a plan recast with the programme inside it.
About the investment
Tappin’s platform integrates registration, streaming, on-site engagement, and analytics into a single end-to-end product for event organisers. The Nordic event-tech ecosystem has produced one of the strongest concentrations of mature event-platform companies in Europe, and Tappin has built a category-defining product on the Nordic foundation. The TGC engagement is structured to take that foundation into new international markets, with deployed operating capacity working alongside the founders on the cross-border platform-extension workstream.
What the investment enables
- Engineering depth.Engineers from Gateway’s global teams accelerate Tappin’s platform development - the streaming-and-engagement layer, the analytics infrastructure, and the integration surface with adjacent event-management tooling.
- International GTM cadence.Embedded GTM operators work alongside the Tappin commercial team on geographic expansion beyond the Nordic home market, with a structured weekly operating cadence focused on enterprise event-organiser accounts.
- Cross-border operating posture.Governance specialists support the regulatory-readiness and procurement-hygiene scaffolding required for enterprise event-platform contracts across multiple European jurisdictions.
