• Driving innovation or technology, demonstrable traction and a capacity to build a scaled global business
• Demonstratable product market fit and revenue traction

Founded in 2017 by Tom Muller and Andrew Cutler, Attekus emerged from their experience at TechnologyOne, where they identified a significant gap in the market for a modern, efficient booking and event management platform tailored to local governments. The company’s flagship product, Bookable, automates and streamlines booking and event management processes for publicly owned assets and the broader community, offering features like automated pricing, invoicing, waitlist management, and seamless integration with existing council systems. The platform encourages accessibility and optimises costs for local government and public sector organisations.
