7 Points of Contact
Trust is built through repeated interactions, not a single encounter.
Kohtaa records the seven interactions that turn a first meeting into a professional relationship, and makes an attendee's progress through them visible.

Every attendee's path to a trusted connection, made visible.
How this model was builtCommon questions.
Yes. GDPR is built into Kohtaa, not added on afterwards. Both the application and the database run on Hetzner in Helsinki, Finland, so your data is stored only in the EU, with no external database subprocessor. In practice: cookieless analytics, data export on request, and account deletion that erases personal data.
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 personal networks finds that closeness between people tracks how much time and how many interactions they invest in each other. Kohtaa records seven interaction types between two attendees, from a first profile view to a mutual endorsement. Each adds one contact point. When two people reach all seven, Kohtaa marks the connection as trusted. It records interactions; it does not claim to measure trust itself.
Kohtaa and Brella both offer event matchmaking, but differ in pricing and in how relationships are tracked. 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 hosted in Helsinki, Finland. 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.
