Built With Industry Experts

Piper is shaped by CFOs, executive producers, and event veterans
who understand what budgeting at scale actually demands.

Ethan Rosch
Piper Founder

Ethan Rosch

Ethan spent 25+ years producing events for Facebook, Intel, Microsoft, Nickelodeon, and more. After watching agencies and production teams burn hours on budget chaos, chasing approvals, reconciling versions, and never quite finding financial clarity... he decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it. Ethan built Piper to get producers back to producing.
