Meetups & Communities

You paid for the ticket. You made the trip. Now talk to someone worth talking to.

Someone in that room has exactly the problem you solve, or the skill you're missing. Afín shows you who before the first talk starts.

The problem

The room has 80 people and you end up talking to three

Meetups are the favourite format of tech and business communities. And yet almost everyone goes home with the same business cards as always.

You arrive alone and stay at the bar

You grab a drink and look for a familiar face. If there isn't one, you stick with the nearest group. The rest of the room is unknown territory. It's not shyness; you just don't know who's worth talking to.

Networking depends on who the host knows

The organiser can't introduce you to all eighty attendees. They do what they can with whoever's nearby. If you're not part of the meetup's inner circle, you depend on luck and arrival order.

The best conversation at the event never happened

Someone in that room has been looking for what you offer for months. You both leave through different doors without exchanging a word. The connection that could have changed something for both of you didn't happen because nobody introduced you.

The solution

How it works at your meetup

  1. Add the link to the invitationOr put a QR at the entrance. Attendees can create their profile before arriving, on the way to the venue. No download, no account.
  2. Profile in 30 seconds: what you do and what you're looking forRole, interests, and most importantly: what they're after. Technical co-founder, first customer, feedback on an idea, project collaboration, or simply expanding their network. Visible intent changes everything.
  3. See who's in the room before the first talkThe PM looking for a co-founder sees the two developers with stalled projects. The freelance designer sees three founders looking for someone for their apps. A digital wave breaks the ice before hunting each other down in the crowd.
A typical moment
A product manager who's been looking for a technical co-founder for four months sees two developers in the room with stalled projects. They wave on Afín. By the end of the meetup they've got a coffee booked for the following week.

Without Afín, they would both have gone home not knowing that the person they needed was ten metres away.
