Hoozoo solves the problem that networking at events is inefficient, sometimes awkward and many times not very successful. During networking events, it is difficult to know who the other attendees are - Attendance lists on various event websites are not real time and often times inaccurate, business cards tend to be given at the end of a conversation. While you may have a great conversation with a fellow attendee, there may not be any mutual benefit from the conversation and little gained towards achieving networking goals for the event (‘meet someone from XYZ company’, ‘meet somebody in the Adtech industry’). Furthermore, initial first-time introductions can be awkward and difficult to make.
Hoozoo provides attendees with a brief bio of fellow attendees in real-time at events, conferences, work spaces and other common areas. By doing this, it allows users to be more strategic with their networking so that they can speak to the people that will be most beneficial to them. Furthermore, by having this information, users can find common interests with other attendees and therefore make the difficult first time interaction easier.
