The founders of Vivenu are doing something besides griping. Cofounded by Simon Hennes in 2018 as a white-label ticket marketplace, German-based Vivenu lets customers like Stanford University and the Grammy’s Recording Academy sell tickets under their own name and branding, while the startup takes care of sending out the passes and managing the process behind the scenes. It also gathers and shares useful data—like what demographics are buying tickets—so brands can plan smarter marketing for future events. “This is one of the most passionate industries you can think of, it's about how people spend their leisure time,” said Hennes. “It was just odd to me, seeing outdated technology.” Initially bootstrapped out of a small village near Frankfurt, the startup has now raised over $65 million from investors including Balderton Capital and Activant Capital and serves over 700 ticket-selling clients across more than 40 countries.

She landed her first film at just 13, playing the young Keira Knightley in the sci-fi "Never Let Me Go." From there, Purnell quickly gained recognition as the child star who could pull off action-packed features in "Kick-Ass 2" or enchant the screen with roles in fantasy films "Maleficent" and "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." But it wasn’t until her 20s that she truly hit her stride, breaking into television with shows like suspense-filled series "Yellowjackets." "I've fallen in and out of love with my job a thousand times," she told Forbes. "It wasn't really until my early twenties that I redefined my profession and decided to do it on my own terms." Now Purnell is really stepping into the spotlight: She's starring in Amazon Prime’s sci-fi series "Fallout"—which was viewed by 65 million in its first two weeks of release last April and then renewed for a second season—and Sky Atlantic's psychological thriller "Sweetpea," a project Purnell executive produces. Off screen, she’s built a following of 1.8 million and forged partnerships with iconic brands including Prada Beauty, MiuMiu and Chanel.
