Meet Oakly

Oakly exists because we realized a massive gap in the event industry. Organizers were juggling multiple apps, yet most tasks remained manual. Our mission? To simplify the game.


Oakly is a comprehensive tool that caters to all the requirements of a hybrid event, and its user-friendliness is a testament to our success. We envision Oakly becoming the complete marketplace solution – from organizing to hosting. With around a trillion dollars spent annually on business events, we aim to revolutionize their management.


Our goal is to evolve Oakly into a fully automated marketplace in the next 15 months, and for that, we're seeking an investment.

My Role

I wear the hat of the Founder & CEO at Oakly. My journey began by recognizing the inefficiencies and gaps in the event industry by working with various clients through our agency Taraba Tech. And since then, I've led a passionate team dedicated to innovating and transforming how events are organized.

How We're Disrupting the Event Industry

In the vast event industry, particularly business conferences, Oakly stands out by integrating various apps into a cohesive ecosystem. This isn't just about convenience but about massive efficiency. Our unique approach enables significant automation in pre-event organization, slashing both time and resources by a staggering 90%. But the jewel in Oakly's crown is our cross-platform analytics, offering insights to redefine event management.

Standing Out from The Crowd

While numerous tools are available for event management, Oakly's comprehensive suite stands apart. Our vision is to consolidate every essential tool into one ecosystem, making Oakly the largest marketplace of its kind. This, coupled with our emphasis on automation and analytics, is poised to change the event management landscape.

Our Thoughts on the Event Industry in 2023

The event industry is evolving at a rapid pace. Participants ' expectations have heightened with the shift to hybrid events becoming a standard. They demand precision, speed, and unsurpassed quality. Additionally, sponsors are no longer satisfied with just exposure; they seek tangible ROI proof. We believe Oakly, with its unique features and emphasis on analytics, is primed to meet these expectations and even exceed them.

What word defines the state of the Event Industry in 2023?

Transformation. This year has seen a paradigm shift in organizing, attending, and sponsoring events. Oakly is at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring every stakeholder's needs are met comprehensively.

Why we decided to participate in HackerNoon's Startup of the Year awards

HackerNoon is not just a platform; it's a community where future shapers, innovators, and industry leaders converge. We wanted to be part of this dynamic ecosystem to engage, understand, and assist those crafting tomorrow's narratives and movements.

Final Thoughts

Oakly's journey has been fueled by innovatively recognizing and addressing a gap. As we look to the future, our goal is clear - to become the ultimate solution in the event industry. We're ready for the challenge, and with your support, we believe the best is yet to come.
