Drive Capital, a venture capital firm, led a $18m Series A funding round in Planned, an all-in-one event planning platform, with participation from Outsiders Fund, THCAP, and N49P. “What makes Planned so special is its laser-focus on making its users’ lives easier. Plenty of companies have started in this space, but none of them have done the upfront work to truly simplify the experience of event planning like the Planned team has,” Masha Khusid, Drive Capital Partner.
