Built for the people
who make opening day happen.
Why FestKit exists
The map kept becoming
the operating system.
FestKit started as Carta Maps, a general map builder. Festival customers kept pulling the map deeper into the real work: placing vendors, planning load-in, guiding staff, and helping attendees find their way.
The problem was bigger than drawing. Applications lived in one tool. Payments lived in another. Vendor assignments lived in a sheet. The attendee map was a PDF that went stale as soon as the layout changed.
So Carta Maps became FestKit: one platform that gets vendors in the door, turns them into paid and placed booths, and carries the same event into opening day. The map is no longer the last file you export. It is where the event comes together.
How we build
How we make the product earn its place.
Built for events, not every business
FestKit follows the real work from application to load-out. If a feature does not help an organizer fill, place, run, or grow an event, it does not earn a place.
Change it once
Move a vendor and the assignment, staff map, vendor instructions, and attendee map stay aligned. No second export. No re-entry. No drift.
Talk to the people building it
We are a small team. Organizers get direct access to the people making product decisions and real influence over what comes next.
Earn the complexity
Simple until proven otherwise. Every feature starts minimal and grows based on real usage, not hypothetical requirements. We'd rather do three things well than ten things poorly.
