Lucas McCarthy, founder and CEO of Calgary-based Showpass, joined Chris Hogg at Inventures 2025 to share how his team built a ticketing company people can actually trust. As he puts it, “It's brutal. Nobody likes their vendor in my space,” but Showpass has found a better way.
In this interview, McCarthy explains how Showpass has grown over more than a decade by focusing on what others overlook. The company uses steady cash flow to help fund local events, is building a smarter recommendation engine so people can discover new things happening in their city, and recruits people for the long run so teams stay strong and communities benefit.
He talks about why taking on risk is sometimes better than letting good ideas fade, and how Showpass works behind the scenes to grow the “things to do” economy wherever people gather.
Watch to see how this company keeps evolving to back local culture, small businesses and the people making it all happen.
