Let’s Meet is an online platform designed for event registration and management, founded in April 2017. The platform aims to simplify the process for users organizing various types of events, providing tools to create events, manage participant lists, send invitations, and track attendee engagement. It serves a wide range of events, including corporate functions, workshops, weddings, and recreational activities.

Founding and Background

Let’s Meet was founded by Johannes Pöschl, born in 1981, with a background in economics and information technology. Prior to founding Let’s Meet, Pöschl worked for a decade as an economist specializing in innovation and international trade. He later transitioned into entrepreneurship, where he assumed roles in software development, customer support, and marketing.

The idea for Let’s Meet emerged from Pöschl's desire to create a user-friendly platform for event management. Development of the platform began in 2016. However, the company faced challenges in achieving profitability during its early years. In 2019, as his daughter was about to be born, Pöschl shifted focus towards opportunities in data science, leveraging his 16 years of expertise. During this period, he developed a cash flow forecasting tool for large, publicly traded companies.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the event management industry. With restrictions on gatherings and social distancing measures in place, there was an increased demand for tools that could facilitate online event management and registration. In March 2020, as the first lockdowns were implemented, organizations across various sectors, including churches and community clubs, sought solutions for managing attendance at events with limited participation.

This shift in demand provided an opportunity for Let’s Meet to expand its offerings and adapt to the changing landscape. By 2021, nearly five years after its inception, Let’s Meet became profitable, marking a key milestone in its growth.

Target Market

Let’s Meet primarily serves clients in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and the United States. The platform is versatile and caters to a variety of events, including corporate meetings, professional workshops, and personal events like weddings. This broad appeal reflects Let’s Meet’s ability to meet the diverse needs of different organizations.

Operations

Let’s Meet is headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The location serves as the operational hub for the company and is strategically positioned to serve the DACH region. Over time, Let’s Meet has grown to be a significant player in the event management sector, responding to the evolving needs of its clients and the wider event industry.

Conclusion

Let’s Meet has evolved from a concept into a fully operational event management platform. The company has adapted to industry changes, particularly in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and has grown into a profitable and widely used solution. Let’s Meet remains committed to providing user-friendly tools for event organizers, with a strong focus on data privacy and user experience.
