Venuu operates as an online marketplace designed to connect event organizers with a wide array of venues. The company was founded in 2013 by Jasu Koponen, Jerome Saarinen, and Emil Sagfors in Helsinki, Finland. The platform aims to streamline the venue search process, which can often be fragmented and time-consuming for individuals and businesses looking to host events.
The business serves a dual-sided market. On one side, it caters to event organizers, including both private individuals planning parties, weddings, or other personal gatherings, and corporate clients organizing meetings, seminars, and company events. On the other side, it provides a marketing channel for venue owners who can list their spaces on the platform to reach a larger customer base. Venuu's business model is centered on its marketplace, facilitating the connection between these two groups. Venue owners can add their spaces to the platform without monthly or annual fees, and organizers can browse, compare, and book venues without intermediary charges.
The core service is a search and booking platform that allows users to find and compare venues based on specific needs like event type, capacity, and location. Users can view detailed information and pictures for each space to make an informed decision. The platform features a broad selection of venues, ranging from traditional settings to more unconventional spaces. Since its inception, Venuu has expanded its operations from its home base in Finland to other markets, including Sweden, Denmark, and Spain. The company has secured seed funding to support its product development and geographical expansion, with investors including Reaktor Ventures and Innovestor.
