Danny Frenkel (CEO) and Alex Dajani (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In November 2023, PunchUp Technologies Inc.
raised USD 1 million in venture funding led by Social Leverage, including Heracles Capital, Hustle Fund, and Evil Twin Capital. In January 2026, Punchup Live raised USD 2. 1 million in venture funding led by investor Marquee Ventures. The company provides a platform that features a vast array of comedic content, from short clips and full sets to special performances and raw club footage.
The firm allows users to watch performances such as Zoltan Kaszas Light & Sound Therapy and Jordan Jensen’s Divorced Lady, among others. Punchup also offers premium content, like Mark Normand’s Page to Stage, available for a nominal fee. Punchup Live earns revenue by taking a share of ticket sales, subscriptions, and digital content monetization generated through its creator‑first ticketing, streaming, and analytics platform.
