Company history/background
Online and offline networks
The company in question has developed a platform (as a service) that enables business professionals to network smartly, including knowledge about what other professionals are looking for.
The platform connects professionals via existing business events organized by third parties. Additionally, users can organize events themselves and create business communities around specific themes.
The business events market in the Netherlands has a size of over 9 billion. In that market, nearly half of event providers do not use a network app or Platform-as-a-Service.
Company activities
Continuity in developing a personal network
The platform enables further structure and continuity of business meetings and networking activities, far exceeding the scope of a one-off event or the mere exchange of business cards.
Organizers can add an online or offline business event to the platform, but any event participant can do so as well. In this way, a platform is created with a high degree of dynamism in the interactions between business professionals.
The communities and events organized by a platform member can be either open or closed.
