What Fiylo does

Fiylo (legal entity: fiylo Deutschland GmbH) is a privately held B2B online marketplace founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hannover, Germany. It operates the fiylo.de portal — with sister sites fiylo.at (Austria), fiylo.ch (Switzerland), and fiylo.com (international) — connecting event planners with a curated catalog of more than 2,000 event venues, service providers, and caterers across the DACH region. Each listing includes structured information, images, videos, and direct contact details, organized by city, category, and capacity.

The underlying platform is a TYPO3 CMS-based web application hosted on Mittwald infrastructure, with an SEO-centric information architecture and a proprietary system for driving qualified traffic to listed venues. Supporting products include the Locationempfehlung free recommendation service, a registered user account with inquiry lists (fiylo Konto), an event inquiry form (Eventanfrage), and since 2022 a marketplace for speakers, moderators, and trainers (fiylo Speaker). Web design and technical implementation are handled by an external partner, ORANGEFLUID GmbH in Detmold.

The business model is freemium on the supply side: venue and service providers can list free of charge, while the company monetizes via lead generation transmitted to providers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds or institutional investors are indicated, and revenue figures are not reported. The company is led by Managing Director Frank Lienert and shows no disclosed app, API, AI capabilities, or M&A activity.
