Invitation only · 100 venues
Founding Venues: planners book what they can walk through. Yours is next.
We’re hand-selecting a small cohort of independent venues to launch Floors.live with. Planners design their event on your real floor plan and review it inside your 3D tour — so inquiries arrive already sold on the space. Founding venues get Venue Pro free, a founder rate locked for life, and a numbered badge — no sales calls, no credit card.
The founding package
6 months of Venue Pro — free
Every space in your property, up to 10 team members, analytics and priority support. Finish onboarding in your first 60 days and earn +3 bonus months — up to 9 months free in total.
A founder rate locked for life
When the free period ends, founding venues keep roughly 40% off Venue Pro — permanently. Venue Pro is $69 per event space per month; your founder rate makes it about $41 — locked for as long as you stay.
A numbered Founding Venue badge
A real, numbered position on your public page (“Founding Venue #23”) — scarcity that’s actually true. Plus featured placement in the directory and homepage rotation.
Free 3D tour setup + a direct product line
We help you capture and publish your first 3D tour, with priority processing. And your feature requests get credited in a founding-venues changelog — you help build this.
A pro tour costs thousands. Yours is included.
A pro venue tour runs $750–$5,000+ to capture, plus a subscription that takes the tour offline the day you stop paying. On Floors.live you self-shoot it, host it free on your page, and keep it forever — your venue, your assets.

Your venue. Your assets. The tour stays yours — forever — on a page planners actually use.
$3,785 less over 3 years — and unlike Matterport, it never goes offline and it’s yours to keep.
See the whole event, standing in your actual venue
Design the layout on your scaled floor plan — tables, stage, dance floor, every guest — then see it rendered inside your venue’s own 360° space, from any angle: overview, walk-through, up close. Self-shoot the venue with a phone or 360 camera, and from then on every planner reviews their event right here — zero setup.
Designed in Floors.liveDesign your event with zero setup — easy as drag and drop
The moment you claim, your space is pre-loaded as a scaled floor plan on your page. Any planner or couple just drags their event — tables, stage, dance floor — right onto it and reviews it inside your 3D tour. No CAD, no calibration, nothing to learn — as easy as drag and drop.

What we ask in return — plainly
- • Build your page within 30 days: claim it, upload your floor plans, add photos.
- • Add or capture a 3D tour of your space within 60 days.
- • Answer one short feedback survey a month for 3 months (about 5 minutes, in-product).
- • A testimonial, and permission to build your space into a public case page.
- • Show a “Design your event in our space in 3D” link on your own website.
Never required: reviews on any review site. We don’t ask for them and don’t reward them. Slots that go 30 days without onboarding are reclaimed and re-offered — the number 100 stays honest.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Founding Venue actually get?
Months of Venue Pro free, a numbered Founding Venue badge on your public page, featured placement in the directory and on our homepage, free help setting up your 3D tour, a direct line to shape the product — and, after the free period, a founder rate locked for life. Full terms are on this page.
Is it really free? What is the catch?
The Pro plan is free for the founding period, and you keep a locked founder discount after it. In return we ask you to actually build your page (upload your floor plans and photos, add a 3D tour), answer a short monthly feedback survey for three months, and let us feature your space in a public case study. That is the whole deal.
How many founding venues are there?
The cohort is capped and numbered — every founding venue gets a real position (“Founding Venue #23”). The counter on this page is live. When the slots are gone, they are gone.
Do I have to leave a review anywhere?
No. We never ask for, require, or reward reviews on any review site. Your only give-back is building your page, the short monthly surveys, and a case study we produce with you.
How do I join?
By invitation. If you received a code, enter it above to see your offer and claim your venue. If you did not, there is nothing to buy here — we are hand-selecting venues in our launch metros.
