Be in the room.
Hoost coordinates the whole of an event — the space, the food, the production, the people. Sponsorship attaches your brand to that, at the moment it is being planned.
Four ways to show up.
Pick one on the way in. You are not committing to a package before anyone has agreed what the night is.
Fund a pool
A credit pool
You fund an amount, organisers spend it against real events. You are not picking one party and hoping.
Send units
Product
Your product shows up where people are already gathered: on the table, behind the bar, in what they take home.
Back an organiser
Event costs
Fund an organiser's event costs — paid as Hoost credit toward the venue and vendors, not cash.
Bring the experience
An activation
You bring the thing itself — a tasting, a booth, a moment built around the brand.
The terms are the product.
Most sponsorship ends with a folder of photos and a number nobody can check. These four rules are enforced by the system, not by goodwill.
A person decides the fit
Every request is reviewed against the actual event — its type, its audience, its budget. No auto-matching a brand into a room it does not belong in.
Deliverables need proof
What was agreed has to be evidenced before it counts. The system refuses to advance an activation whose proof is missing.
Nothing closes without a recap
A sponsorship cannot be marked finished until a recap exists. You get the evidence, not an invoice and a shrug.
Regulated categories get more review
Spirits, beer and wine, financial services, healthcare and cannabis are gated for extra checks. Slower on purpose.
We are early, and this page has no logo wall because we have not earned one yet.
Sponsorship on Hoost is open for its first brands. That is the honest pitch: the rooms are real and already being booked, and the first sponsors get to shape how this works rather than inherit it.
Applying starts a review, not a charge. Nothing is committed until a specific event, a specific contribution and the terms are agreed in writing.
