How this model was builtFAQ
Common questions.
Kohtaa is GDPR native, not just compliant. Both the application and the database run on Hetzner in Helsinki, Finland, a single EU jurisdiction with no third-party subprocessor holding your data. GDPR is built into the architecture by default, including cookieless analytics, data export on request, and full account deletion.
Yes. Kohtaa is free forever for events up to 30 attendees. No credit card required. Paid tiers start at EUR 100 per event for up to 100 attendees.
No. Kohtaa is fully browser-based. Attendees join via a link on any device without downloading or installing anything.
The 7 Points of Contact is Kohtaa's proprietary relationship tracking framework. Research on trust and personal networks shows that professional trust is built through repeated, meaningful interactions over time, not a single encounter. Kohtaa tracks seven verified interaction types between any two attendees, from first profile view to mutual endorsement. Every interaction adds one contact point. When two people reach 7 contact points across Kohtaa events, they have formed a genuinely trusted professional relationship.
Kohtaa and Brella both offer event matchmaking, but differ significantly in pricing, hosting, and philosophy. Kohtaa is free up to 30 attendees and charges a transparent flat rate of EUR 100 to EUR 950 per event beyond that, with public pricing. Kohtaa is EU-hosted and GDPR native. Kohtaa also tracks relationships across multiple events over time using the 7 Points of Contact model, rather than single-event intent matching.
Yes. While Kohtaa was built in the Nordic startup ecosystem, it is designed for any professional networking event: innovation days, academic conferences, alumni events, industry meetups, and government or institutional events.
