For everyone who brings people together in a room
Get acquainted.
Everyone in the room says on their phone what they are looking for. Then Bekanta tells you who to talk to, and why.
How an evening works
Three steps. Then people talk to each other.
01
Everyone joins
A code on the screen, or a link before the evening. No app, no account. You get a place in the room.
02
Everyone says what they are looking for
A few short questions on your phone, and who you are curious about. The drops light up one by one. No other guest sees what you chose.
03
The room is matched
The drops seek each other out and merge. Your phone says who, where, and what you can start talking about.
Who it is for
For everyone who brings together people who should talk to each other.
Founder meetups
Founders meet founders. Matches are made on what you can give each other, not on who stood closest to the bar.
Investor evenings
Two sides. Both say what they are looking for, and the wishes are weighed against each other.
Conferences
Hundreds in the same hall. At the break, each person knows who to look for, and why.
Mentor programmes
Mentees and mentors. The most sought-after mentors reach more people than just those who got there first.
Career days
Students and employers. The smaller companies also get to meet the people who fit with them.
Speed networking
Round after round. No one meets the same person twice.
Round tables
Small groups from a large circle. Each person ends up at the table where they have the most to talk about, and meets new faces in the next round.
Matching
Both have to want it. Otherwise it is not a match.
- 1
Everyone says what they are looking for.
The answers become wishes: who you have something to give, and who has what you need.
- 2
Both sides count.
Most tools rank people. Then the most sought-after get a hundred requests, and the rest have to wait.
- 3
No one gets swamped.
Everyone has a cap, so the most sought-after person does not take up the whole evening.
- 4
The host decides.
You see the matches before the room does, and swap whoever needs swapping.
Four ways to meet
Alike
Those who answered most alike.
Opposites
Those who complement each other.
Wanted
Those who chose each other.
Your own
Your own rules for the evening.
The method builds on stable matching, which was awarded the Prize in Economic Sciences in 2012.
The host runs the evening
A running order and an arrow key. You see the room, choose one-to-one or groups, and press when it is time.
Your colour, your room
Your brand and your colour in the drops, your questions and your own address for the evening.
No one is singled out
The screen shows the room, never one person's answers. No scores on people, no leaderboards.
Got people in a room soon?
