Splash entered into the ticketing market in January 2013.[10] In 2013, Splash facilitated 200 South by Southwest events, the Google Glass Tour and Vevo's Halloween Costume Party.[11]

In December 2016, the company raised $7 million in a Series B funding round led by Ascent Venture Partners, with participation from Spark Capital, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, ScaleUP Ventures, Tumblr founder David Karp, and Vine cofounder Rus Yusupov. The company also announced that they would be transitioning to focus on enterprise clients.[12]
