What talque does

talque, operated by Real Life Interaction GmbH and headquartered in Berlin, is an integrated event management platform positioned by the company as an 'Event Operating System'. The platform delivers ticketing, a whitelabel mobile event app (web-based with optional native iOS/Android distribution), a realtime control layer for live event content, structured matchmaking and 1:1 networking, agenda and speaker management, sponsors/exhibitors modules with lead capture, and post-event analytics — all accessible via browser without mandatory downloads and hosted on EU servers. It serves enterprise event organizers across conferences, trade shows, hybrid events, festivals, member meetings, and corporate internal events, with documented deployments including LEARNTEC (13,500 participants, since 2018), LOGIN (8,000+ participants), MedtecLIVE (400+ exhibitors), and OCLC's multi-edition online specialist conferences.

The business model is subscription-based: a free tier with self-service onboarding (terminable with two weeks' notice) and paid packages on contracted periods (monthly or annual) with auto-renewal unless cancelled three months before term end, plus optional add-on features and add-on charges for additional participants or extended support. Enterprise/corporate licensing is available for organizations wishing to sublicense the platform to employees, with negotiated enterprise pricing. Distribution is sales-led via 30-45 minute demo calls targeting event management, marketing, and operations professionals, complemented by content marketing (blog, case studies, knowledge base), organic SEO across German and English sites, public API documentation, and iOS/Android app stores; no reseller or marketplace channels are described.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity. It is led by two managing directors (Dr. Tassilo Ott and Dr. Volker Braun) and operates with a 1-10 employee headcount, while reporting 2,000+ organizer customers, 500,000+ app downloads, and a 4.6/5 app rating across 1,000+ reviews. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
