There are five members of the Hartz household: Julia and her husband Kevin, their two daughters and their $483 million company—Eventbrite.

The couple launched the business in 2006 alongside their third co-founder—Renaud Visage—with Kevin initially taking on the title of CEO. In 2016 Julia took the reins, just in time to take the company public before she and her team were slammed into the crisis that was the coronavirus pandemic.
