Question 1

Does 1Degree replace my existing event app?

Accepted Answer

No. 1Degree is a networking layer that works on top of Eventbrite, Luma, Splash, or your own setup. It adds AI-powered networking via WhatsApp — no changes to your existing tools.

Question 2

Do attendees need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No. 1Degree runs entirely on WhatsApp — the app your attendees already have. They scan a QR code or tap a link and start networking instantly.

Question 3

What types of events does 1Degree work for?

Accepted Answer

Conferences, meetups, founder events, investor summits, association meetings, corporate events, and ongoing professional communities.

Question 4

How is 1Degree different from Brella or Whova?

Accepted Answer

Brella and Whova are full event management suites with their own apps. 1Degree is purpose-built for networking and runs on WhatsApp — lighter, faster, zero friction. Organizers get a web dashboard with all networking insights.

Question 5

How quickly can I set up networking for my event?

Accepted Answer

Under 30 minutes. Create your event, set matching criteria, share the QR code or link — the AI handles introductions via WhatsApp. You monitor everything from the admin dashboard.

Question 6

What if attendees don't register themselves via QR or link?

Accepted Answer

You can pre-load attendees by uploading an Excel file or integrating with Luma. Provide their WhatsApp number, LinkedIn URL, and what kind of connections they're looking for — 1Degree creates profiles and starts sending AI-curated introductions via WhatsApp before the event begins.

Question 7

Is 1Degree available in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 1Degree bot and dashboard work in both English and Spanish. Attendees can chat with the AI in whichever language they prefer.
