Wakao gives you a professional profile, business profile, and event tools that work together as one system.

Professional Identity That Actually Lives in the App

In Wakao, your professional profile is more than a bio. It’s a structured, multi-section identity that powers how people find, trust, and book you for events.

The professional profile tab includes sections for:

All of this data is stored in a dedicated professional_profiles collection, managed by a ProfessionalProfileService that handles create, load, and update flows, and synced into lightweight user_summaries so your professional headline and avatar show up everywhere (Discovery, cards, chats, and more).

Key Idea: A Profile Built for Action, Not Just Display

Your Wakao professional profile isn’t just a digital CV. It’s a first-class object that powers recommendations, activity hosting, and revenue – especially when combined with your business profile and ticketed events.

1. Business Profile Mode: When You’re a Brand, Not Just a Person

For many professionals, the line between “me” and “my business” is thin. Wakao solves this with a professionalProfileAsBusiness toggle, captured in the user document and surfaced in the professional profile tab.

When you enable business profile mode, Wakao:

Behind the scenes, the professional profile tab maps business profile media into typed BusinessMedia objects, and gracefully falls back when fields are missing (e.g., using avatarUrl or businessAvatarUrl depending on what’s available).

The result: you can present yourself as a solo professional, a brand, or both – with a single toggle, without duplicating your work.

2. Professional Events: Host Like a Pro, Not a Hobbyist

Once your professional and business profiles are set up, the real magic happens when you start creating professional events inside Wakao. Because activity creation is wired into your profile, you can:

From the attendee’s perspective, tapping on your avatar in a professional event routes them to your OtherUserProfessionalProfileScreen, which:

That’s how a single great event becomes the starting point for long-term client or fan relationships.

3. Revenue Stack: From Profile to Paid Events to Products

Wakao doesn’t stop at professional branding. The platform includes a full revenue stack that your professional profile can plug into:

🎟️ Ticketed Events

Use the ticketing system to sell seats for workshops, coaching sessions, masterclasses, and conferences – with multiple ticket tiers, Stripe/NOWPayments, QR tickets, and PDFs.

🏛️ Hubs & Memberships

Create a professional or business hub, charge recurring memberships, run a private feed and chat, and use payments to gate premium content.

🛒 Hub Shops & Marketplace

Sell digital products (courses, templates, guides), physical merch, or service bundles directly inside your hub or via the activity marketplace.

Because all of these systems share user identity, activity data, and payment providers, your professional profile becomes the “source of truth” that ties everything together – from your headshot and headline to your revenue streams.

4. Example Revenue Scenarios for Professionals & Businesses
