Backtrack

Backtrack is an AI-powered meeting capture and analytics platform built specifically for the events industry. It automatically records every 1:1 scheduled meeting at hosted buyer programs, private meeting rooms, and trade shows, then generates accurate transcripts, summaries, CRM-ready notes, and ROI reporting. The platform is designed to help event organizers capture what happened in every meeting, quantify outcomes, and give sales teams the evidence they need to retain, rebook, and upsell sponsors. The company was founded by Hunter and Jordan, former roommates who had previously founded several startups together, surpassing $10 million in funding and attracting investment from Slack (Salesforce), Shure Microphones, and influential figures such as Arlan Hamilton, Anthony Pompliano, and Ankur Nagpal (founder of Teachable). The idea for Backtrack originated on a flight home from an investor meeting in San Francisco, when the founders realized they should have recorded key investor conversations. They built the product and took it live at trade shows to capture real buyer conversations. Backtrack positions itself as a solution to the guesswork that plagues post-show sales conversations. Sponsors often say they "didn't get enough value," sales teams rely on gut feel instead of evidence, and event teams can count meetings but not outcomes. Backtrack addresses this by showing what actually happened in every meeting, identifying which meetings led to next steps, and quantifying signals like follow-up, booked calls, and RFP intent. This gives sponsors a clearer ROI story and equips sales teams with better retention and upsell ammunition. The platform offers organizer reports for internal teams and sponsor-level reporting to support rebooking conversations. Backtrack also provides a free event industry toolkit, including templates, guides, and playbooks for organizers and sponsors, such as the Hosted Buyer Bible, a sponsorship pitch deck template with pricing framework, an event ROI calculator for sponsors, and pre-event, on-site, and post-event checklists. Backtrack is a private company headquartered in the United States, operating globally. Its website is usebacktrack.com.
