In 2003, Baio launched Upcoming, a collaborative event calendar. The site was acquired by Yahoo for an undisclosed sum in 2005 and Baio joined the company as the site's Technical Director.〔(Yahoo acquires Upcoming.org | CNET News.com )〕 In 2007, Baio announced his departure from Yahoo.
In September 2008, Baio joined the board of directors of Kickstarter, a "crowdfunding" website that helps people with project ideas (often artistic works) to connect with an audience of potential funders.〔(Kickstarter | waxy.org )〕 Baio later joined the staff as Chief Technical Officer in July 2009,〔(Kickstarter's New CTO, Andy Baio )〕 stepping down in November 2010 to join Expert Labs.
After Yahoo offered to sell the Upcoming domain back to Baio, he launched a Kickstarter campaign that hit its $30,000 goal in May 2014 to revive the site. Baio explained on the Kickstarter page, "Like many of the people that used it, I miss Upcoming. Nothing's come to replace it in the years since, and I have the same problems that motivated me to build it a decade ago -- I'm missing interesting events in my city and struggling to discover interesting events when I travel."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Return of Upcoming.org )〕
