Company profile
researched Sep 2026Ekos (EKOS.AI) operates a platform for hosting events, managing communities and facilitating networking among their members. The product, published on the Apple App Store by developer EKOS GLOBAL under the Social Networking category, combines event hosting for both in-person and virtual formats with member directories, announcements and discussion threads, 1:1 and group messaging, and voice/video calls.
The central feature is AI-driven matchmaking: users state their networking goals, interests, hobbies and roles, and the system suggests relevant people to connect with locally or internationally. Members can schedule calls and meet within the product, and can network before, during and after live events. Users may join as individuals or as part of a company or community space, with paid spaces, subspaces and sections available for organizing membership; organizers can invite members after creating an event and export member lists. The iPhone app is free to download and is updated frequently, with release notes in 2026 covering a rich text editor for threads, an invite modal, subspace and section management, and improvements to the join flow for paid spaces.
Traction
The iPhone app holds a 4.9 rating from 78 ratings on the US App Store, with user reviews posted between 2022 and 2025 from alumni community organizers and startup ecosystem program managers.
Latest developments
App releases in 2026 added a rich text editor for threads, an invite modal for adding members immediately after event creation, inclusion of sections when adding members to subspaces, member list exports for sections and subspaces, and an improved join flow for paid spaces reached from events.
