Fun(d) Day: proving the networking, not just the headcount
5 November 2026 · Teatteri Rio, Oulu · Open networking
Case study, Business Oulu
The event
Fun(d) Day is Business Oulu's day about funding for startups: public and private funding in Finland, investors on stage, and matchmaking and an afterwork at the end. Founders came to meet investors, and investors came to meet founders.
What the organiser needed
Before, the only thing the team could report after the event was how many people came. They wanted to see whether the people in the room actually connected, and to show it.
What Kohtaa did
Attendees joined from a link or a QR code, in the browser with no app. They saw who was there, sent contact requests and replied to them. The organiser could follow the numbers on the event dashboard.

“Last year the only thing we could track was the number of participants. This year we could see attendees connecting with each other and prove it with numbers, which is what matters for the matchmaking.”
