Startup of the Week: Pickevent find the right events for you

Welcome to the eleventh episode in the Elevator Pitch series 3.

Every week we publish a 30 second pitch from 12 leading startups from across London. In this series we took the founders to the top of 40 Bank Street in the heart of Canary Wharf for the most exciting pitch of their lives.

Each year there are 30,000 networking events in London, and nearly 360,000 nationwide. With about 200 million attendees to wade through, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by it all.

Jose Bort believes there is a solution – Pickevent, the world’s first professional events network that connects attendees, speakers and event organisers.

Networking with the right people

Started by Jose Bart and Jose Moliner in February, Pickevent ensures that you never end up at an event that doesn’t interest you.

Both cofounders had been living in a number of countries around the world and lamented the difficulty in finding professional events worth attending as well as the difficulty in networking with the right people.

So, you guessed it, they founded Pickevent.

Better events

The platform helps you find events worth attending based on your personal interests.

You can sign in with your LinkedIn information so that everything from your professional life is already in the system.

It also facilitates networking – you can review the speakers and event organisers to inform the community about what works and what doesn’t.

White label solution

Pickevent now also offer the platform as a white label solution. Bort explains:

Jose BartAny event organiser can build their own private and branded event community under their own web domain that helps sell more tickets, generate higher revenues from sponsors, increase attendance and gather relevant data.

They are also now developing an AI system that Bort says “will help people to connect with the relevant people depending on their profile, interests and activity even before they tell us.”
