GearShare Launches the World's First AI Platform for Live Events Equipment Cross-Rental

Miami, Florida-based GearNet Holdings announces the official launch of GearShare, the world's first AI-powered platform built specifically for the live events equipment space.

After almost a year of development, GearShare, which is now live and onboarding customers, is billed as introducing a new way to connect rental and production companies, delivering, it says, speed, transparency, and intelligence never before possible. Parent company GearNet Holdings now combines a global equipment sales marketplace (GearSource) plus an AI-powered cross-rental marketplace (GearShare).

The timing may be right for such a service. As the company notes, "Professional audio, video, lighting, and staging equipment rentals and production are valued at $12.34 billion in 2024 and are estimated to reach USD 20.56 billion by 2033."

At the core of GearShare are two technologies:

GearSpotting is a multi-layered search powered by seven proprietary AI agents. Users can search by product name, feature set, brand, availability, and location, with instant, intelligent matching that replaces days of phone calls and emails.

GearSync is an onboarding system allowing companies to upload ten or 10,000 listings. The proprietary GearSync AI automation can classify products, connect them to GearShare's master database, providing context from a dedicated RAG server, data analytics, and vector database.

"These innovations are not just about convenience; they are unlocking ROI from massive investments while also increasing utilization, critical to the industry's sustainability," says Marcel Fairbairn, CEO of GearNet Holdings. "With GearSync and GearSpotting, we are giving the industry its first true AI platform."

"In my 30-plus years in live events, I've never seen a platform with the potential of GearShare. This is the system our industry has been waiting for," says partner/investor James Brett. "GearShare isn't just smarter, it's a direct line to ROI. Companies can finally put their gear to work at full capacity without the waste and friction that held us back for decades."

The launch of GearShare also lays the foundation for expanded AI functionality within GearSource. The integration of the two platforms provides companies with a complete lifecycle solution for their gear, from acquisition to utilization to resale.

GearShare is available exclusively to live production equipment rental companies worldwide. Subscriptions are now open.
