My name is Linus Gerdes, and I'm based in Munich. Before I wrote a single line of code, I worked in event operations — as a hostess, as an event manager, and eventually as someone responsible for making sure hundreds of attendees and sponsors had a seamless experience. I taught myself to code at university, but it was the events world that showed me where software was actually needed.
Events are chaotic by nature. People show up late or not at all. Schedules change at the last minute. And through all of it, every attendee — every sponsor who paid to be there — expects to feel looked after and professionally handled. What we kept seeing was that the tools just weren't there. Excel spreadsheets, email threads, information scattered across systems that didn't talk to each other. The harder the team worked, the more things still fell through the cracks.
We started building Meetora in 2024 to fix that — not as a generic event platform, but as something that actually fits the way hosted buyer events work. Modular, configurable, and built to handle the chaos rather than pretend it doesn't exist. We're a small team of developers based in Germany, and we work directly with every client. No account managers, no support tickets — just people who understand your event and are reachable when it matters.
