Where it sits in the data

EMS Events's $50K a month is higher than 82% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand would come from organisations arranging live, virtual and hybrid events. The buyer would be a business, conference organiser or event team needing equipment, technical production and on-site support. Distribution would require relationships with event planners, venues, agencies and organisations that run recurring events.

Building the full service would require substantial operational work. Equipment logistics, technical staff, setup, troubleshooting, interpretation coverage, stage construction and event support would create a high service load. General event-technology rules, venue requirements, safety responsibilities and competition would also need to be managed.

Verdict: Hard to replicate.

One thing to take from it

EMS Events combines a Central London equipment hub with technical production, stage construction, interpretation and event support. The company states that it directly employs over thirty full-time technical and creative staff and has supported more than 20,000 corporate events.
