Business matchmaking that pairs the right people — live, at your event
Business matchmaking for trade shows, B2B conferences, chambers of commerce and networking nights: attendees answer a short quiz, an algorithm pairs them by goals, industry and what they can offer each other, and every match is revealed live.
What is business matchmaking?
Business matchmaking is the structured pairing of the right people at a business event — buyers with sellers, founders with investors, partners with complementary companies — so attendees leave with relevant connections instead of a stack of random business cards. Trade shows, expos, chambers of commerce and economic-development agencies have run business matchmaking sessions for years, because a planned introduction is worth far more than a chance one.
Traditional business matchmaking software is built around pre-booked 1-to-1 meetings and long attendee profiles. Moment of Match is a lighter, faster take: every attendee answers a short quiz, a deterministic algorithm pairs the whole room by goals, stage and industry, and the matches are revealed live on every phone at once. It's the icebreaker that gets a networking room actually talking — and organisers keep every attendee's details as leads.
How it works
Attendees answer a business quiz
Guests scan a QR code and answer a few questions — what they're here for (to hire, get hired, partner, invest, learn), their industry and stage — on their own phone.
The algorithm pairs by fit
Business mode weights complementary goals and industries, then pairs each attendee with the person most worth their time — not whoever they happened to sit next to.
You reveal matches live
Start the reveal and every attendee's phone counts down together, then shows their match — an instant, warm, relevant introduction for the whole room.
Lighter than enterprise B2B matchmaking platforms
Dedicated B2B matchmaking platforms (b2match, Converve, Eventtia and similar) are built for multi-day meeting scheduling with heavy setup and enterprise contracts. When you want fast, high-energy introductions rather than a full meeting-booking system, Moment of Match is the fit:
- No app and no attendee onboarding — a QR code and a 2-minute quiz.
- A live reveal that energises a networking room, not a private meeting calendar.
- Set up in minutes; pay once per event instead of an annual licence.
- Works for 20 people at a chamber mixer or 1,000 at a trade show.
- Every attendee becomes an exportable lead for the organiser.

Frequently asked questions
What is business matchmaking at an event?
Business matchmaking is the structured pairing of attendees — buyers with sellers, founders with partners or investors — so they meet the people most worth their time instead of networking at random. Moment of Match does it with a short quiz and a live, synced reveal for the whole room.
How does business matchmaking software work?
Attendees share their goals, industry and what they're looking for; an algorithm scores compatibility between every pair and finds each person's best match. Moment of Match's business mode weights complementary goals and industries, and reveals every match live.
Is this suitable for trade shows and chambers of commerce?
Yes — business matching is one of the three modes, built for trade shows, expos, chamber mixers, B2B conferences and networking nights, for up to 1,000 attendees.
How is it different from b2match or Converve?
Those are enterprise meeting-scheduling platforms with heavy setup and annual contracts. Moment of Match is a lightweight, browser-based tool built around one live-reveal moment, set up in minutes and paid per event.
Do attendees keep their matches and can we get the leads?
Attendees see their match on their own phone and can share contact details with mutual consent. Organisers can export every attendee's details as a CSV for follow-up.
