What is Draftpile?
The core idea behind Draftpile and how it fits the sponsor's side of an event.
Draftpile is the deliverables ledger for event sponsors. You pay for a sponsorship — non-refundable — and the proof usually comes back as one big email and a PowerPoint. Draftpile turns that into a structured record per event: the organizer uploads every proof, and you can see what's delivered, chase what's missing, and export a clean pack to defend the spend.
The core loop
- 1Create a room for the sponsorship and pick the type — the deliverables you paid for load by category.
- 2Invite your event organizer — they get one private link to upload proof.
- 3Watch proof come in. See what's missing, dispute anything that's wrong.
- 4Verify the deliverables that are good.
- 5Export a proof pack — every deliverable, timestamped and grouped.
Who it's for
- Sponsorship, marketing, and BizDev leads who sign off a non-refundable spend.
- Teams running many sponsorships a year — conferences, webinars, whitepapers, podcasts.
- Anyone who has to prove, internally, that a sponsorship was actually delivered.
TipYour organizer never creates an account. They open their private link, confirm the email you invited, and upload proof against each deliverable — nothing else to learn.
