A2D Ventures Leads US$500,000 Seed Investment in Nightify, Building the Operating System for Nightlife in Southeast Asia

Bangkok, Thailand – 31 March 2026 – Nightify, a Thailand-based all-in-one platform for discovering, booking, and managing nightlife experiences, has raised a total of US$500,000, with a Seed funding round led by A2D Ventures and participation from strategic angel investors, including prominent business families, industry operators, and well-connected leaders across hospitality, retail, and consumer sectors. The funding will accelerate Nightify’s expansion across Thailand as it builds the infrastructure layer connecting venues, users, and nightlife culture.

Solving the Fragmentation of Venue Experiences
Across nightlife and hospitality, the experience remains highly fragmented. Users struggle to discover the right venues, navigate inconsistent booking processes, and access reliable information, while venues operate across disconnected systems with limited visibility into customer behavior.

Nightify addresses this by creating a unified platform that connects both sides of the ecosystem, enabling seamless discovery, bookings, and experiences for users, while providing venues with the tools to manage operations, events, and customer relationships. Nightify’s platform spans the full nightlife journey.

On the user side, Nightify enables:
● Discovery of venues and events based on music, vibe, and location.
● Seamless table bookings and event access.
● A growing ecosystem of nightlife experiences, with upcoming features including in-venue
engagement and post-visit retention.
On the venue side, Nightify provides:
● A seamless booking engine for tables and events.
● Special event management and promotion tools.
● Add-on packages and upselling capabilities.
● Data insights and CRM tools to better understand and retain customers.

As the platform evolves, Nightify is expanding into deeper infrastructure for venues, including POS integrations, payments, and operational tools, with the goal of becoming a true end-to-end solution for nightlife operators.

The platform is already used by leading and award-winning venues across Thailand, including Bar Us, The NORM Bangkok, Vesper, Dry Wave Cocktail Studio, G.O.D., F*nkytown, Abandoned Mansion, and many more, demonstrating strong demand from operators looking to modernize how their venues operate.

Beyond software, Nightify is also a community and cultural driver in the nightlife space. The company actively collaborates with venues and brands to create events, campaigns, and shared experiences that drive both awareness and engagement.

Nightify has partnered with brands including Grab, White Claw, Coffee Meets Bagel, DrinkAid, and more, and has co-hosted a range of events from curated bar crawls and dating experiences to large-scale activations with up to 800 attendees, strengthening its position as a key player in Bangkok’s nightlife ecosystem.

Backed by Venture and Industry Leaders
The round was led by A2D Ventures, Southeast Asia’s leading angel investing platform and early-stage venture firm, alongside strategic angel investors with deep experience in hospitality and retail industries.

“We’re excited to support Nightify as they build the infrastructure layer powering venue experiences,” said Ankit Upadhyay, Co-Founder & General Partner at A2D Ventures.

“Hospitality venues across Southeast Asia are still running on fragmented tools. Nightify improves operations for venues while driving measurable engagement for brands like White Claw.”

Upadhyay emphasized the caliber of the founding team as a primary driver for the investment. “Nightify is powered by a formidable Thai team with an elite pedigree. The founders bring a wealth of experience from working at firms like Agoda, Accenture, Bitazza, Minor International, and Oppo. This mix of consumer tech, scale-up, and hospitality expertise is exactly what’s needed to solve real industry challenges with regional potential.” The investment reflects A2D Ventures’ continued commitment to backing ambitious Thai founders building scalable technology companies.

Building the Platform for the Venue Economy
“People don’t go out just to transact. They go out to feel something, to connect, discover, and be part of something bigger,” said Wuthi Bunyapamai, Co-Founder & CEO of Nightify.

“Nightify sits at the intersection of technology, culture, and community. We’re building the platform that powers discovery and bookings, while also shaping the experiences and moments that bring people together. Our goal is to become the default layer for nightlife, where every night out begins, and where venues, brands, and communities come together.”

The new funding will be used to expand Nightify’s venue network across Thailand, enhance its product capabilities, and accelerate user growth through marketing, partnerships, and community-driven initiatives, as the company prepares for regional expansion across Southeast Asia’s hospitality and entertainment markets.
