Entrepreneur LIVE SOURCE The Better Auction Experience L ive Source was created by a San Diego local, Scott Levin, whose passion for attending live events and collecting memorabilia from those experiences is the inspiration for the company. As an avid lifelong collector, Scott has bought, sold and traded lots of memorabilia. About ten years ago, Scott began focusing on collecting items related to the live sporting and entertainment events that he attends. When he traveled to South Bend to see Notre Dame take on Michigan, he was on the lookout for players’ jerseys or game balls. When he traveled to NYC for the US Open, he was then on the lookout for a racket or towel from the matches he attended. By having these memories displayed on his walls, Scott found himself reliving the emotions he felt at those events each time he passed by his collection. Collecting memorabilia from events he attended was a very exciting and rewarding way to form a collection. Unfortunately, finding items from these events requires fans like Scott to monitor dozens of different websites and auction outlets. When an item from the event is finally found, it is often very difficult to be certain that it is authentic and from that event. With the Live Source app, Scott has changed this. Live Source not only makes it possible for memorabilia sellers and buyers to connect during the live event with in-event bidding for items and experiences it allows charitable silent auction bidding from anywhere. This allows auctions to generate more bids, registration is simple, and auctions are fast and efficient, benefitting both event holders and participants. This ease of use and San Diego presence has made Live Source the most attractive auction platform for San Diego events, fundraisers and galas. Recently, the app helped the New Children’s Museum with its silent auction and propelled the night to success.
