Designing Real Encounters: Koino at IVS2025

In an age where spontaneous conversations often seem to be a relic of the past, Cominal, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is taking a bold step to revive genuine interactions through their innovative platform, Koino. Set to unlock its doors for free at the much-anticipated IVS2025 startup conference in July 2025, Koino aims to provide visitors with an unprecedented experience where intentional connections can flourish.

What is Koino?

Koino is a space-mediated platform that meticulously crafts opportunities for serendipitous conversations in the real world. By allowing participants to register their private interests and preferences, Koino employs AI to analyze and match individuals present at the same event, introducing three potential connections each day. Users receive insights not only into basic details like names and companies but also the underlying reasons for these introductions, making it easier to spark conversations even with complete strangers.

The Necessity of Designing “Serendipitous Meetings” Today

With the advent of diverse workstyles and a predominance of online interactions, the business opportunities that arise from casual conversations are sadly on the decline. Koino was developed to bridge this gap, particularly in events and shared workspaces, addressing the common dilemma of not knowing whom to approach when looking for connections. Koino aims to create new origins of collaboration and empathy by facilitating outstanding encounters.
