Jason van Esso is the Founder and CEO of Crewfare, the travel technology platform redefining how people travel for live events.
Built at the intersection of technology, travel, and entertainment, Crewfare was built to power event travel for the biggest events across music, sports, and live entertainment, turning travel from an operational headache into a better guest experience and a new revenue stream. Under Jason’s leadership, Crewfare has grown from a founder-led idea into one of travel tech’s most exciting companies working with global brands like Forbes, Formula 1, National Hockey League, Livenation, and more.
Jason’s edge comes from having lived the problem before building the product. Before Crewfare, he spent years creating and managing group travel experiences, where he saw firsthand how broken, manual, and outdated event travel was for organizers, hotels, staff, VIPs, and fans. Crewfare was built to solve that gap: combining hotel sourcing, attendee bookings, staff travel, ticket packages, and more into one connected platform.
Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, Jason is part of a new generation of founders modernizing the infrastructure behind the experience economy. His vision is simple: travel should not be an afterthought to the event, it should be part of what makes the event unforgettable.
