Anonymous and ephemeral data

Event networking doesn't work.
You know it.

You bring together 200 people with shared interests, and by the end most of them haven't spoken to a single new person.

❌ Without Afín
  • 😶 Nobody makes the first move. The hallway syndrome.
  • 🏷️ Name badges don't say what anyone is looking for
  • 📱 Attendees stare at their phones to avoid the awkwardness
  • 😓 The investor doesn't know there are 3 founders from their vertical 10 metres away
  • 📅 The valuable connections happen after the event, if at all
✅ With Afín
  • 🎯 The match appears on screen. The conversation already has a reason.
  • 👋 The digital wave breaks the ice before you meet in person
  • 🔄 Real-time: every new attendee updates everyone else's matches
  • 🤝 Contact is only shared when both sides want it. Zero pressure.
  • 📈 Attendees who connect come back and recommend your event

Simple enough to explain
in a single slide

1

Create your event in 5 minutes

Name, dates, and optionally: your logo, your colour, your tagline. You get a QR code and a branded URL.

2

Attendees scan the QR

They fill in their profile in 3 guided steps: name and role, interests, optional contact. No account, no password.

3

Matches appear automatically

In real time. Every new attendee updates everyone else's matches. They make a move, or they don't. No pressure.

The wave that changes everything

Seeing a match is easy. Taking the first step is the hard part. That's why the wave exists: a digital nudge that opens the door without putting anyone on the spot.

You see a match and tap "Wave"

The button disables. No spam possible.

The other person gets a notification

"Ana García (Investor · Fintech) wants to connect with you." Accept or ignore. No pressure.

If they accept, both see each other's contact

LinkedIn, email, or whatever each person chose to share. And now they already have something to talk about in person.

Works for any event
where people matter

From 20 people in a coworking space to 500 in an auditorium. If attendees have something in common, Afín finds it.

🚀 Demo Days 💻 Hackathons 🎤 Conferences 🏭 Trade Fairs 🏢 Corporate Events ⚡ Accelerators 🎓 Campus & Universities 🤝 Meetups

Demo Days and startup events

Investors, founders, advisors and press in the same room. Without Afín, all founders compete for the same three investors. With Afín, each investor sees exactly who fits what they're looking for.

"The AI investor sees there are 4 founders in their vertical in the room. They reach out to the one seeking seed funding."

Trade fairs

At a fair with 150 exhibitors, the right buyers and suppliers rarely find each other on their own. Afín matches purchase intent with actual supply before the floor walk begins.

"The purchasing director of a hotel chain sees the 4 sustainability suppliers at the event. No walking 150 stands. No business cards she won't remember."

Conferences and congresses

Coffee breaks are the best part of any conference. Afín turns 15 minutes of chaos into 15 minutes of conversations that matter.

"The attendee looking for mentorship finds the speaker willing to offer it. Without awkwardness, without interrupting, without embarrassment."

Corporate events and offsites

Distributed teams that meet once a year, onboardings with 50 new hires, kickoffs where nobody knows who's who. Afín sparks conversations from the very first moment.

"At the annual all-hands, engineers from different offices find their counterparts on the other team. No awkward 'so what do you do exactly?'."

Hackathons

The biggest problem at a hackathon isn't the idea — it's the team. Participants don't know who has exactly what they need, or who's looking for what they have.

"Developer looking for a designer and someone from business. In 10 minutes the team is formed and they can start building."

Accelerators and incubators

Cohorts where each startup needs different things: investment, talent, clients, partnerships. Afín connects startups with each other and with mentors and experts in the network.

"The biotech startup in the cohort finds the mentor with FDA experience they've been searching for three months. At the first demo day."

Attendees join without typing a single letter

If you have a guest list, Afín pre-loads their profiles. They scan the QR and they're already in, with their matches calculated before the page has finished loading.

You upload your attendee list

Name, company, role, interests. CSV, Excel or manually from the dashboard. One minute.

Each attendee gets their personalised QR

Send it by email, put it at the entrance, print it in the programme. Your call.

Profile pre-loaded. Matches calculated. No keyboard, no form, no friction.

Designed for attendees
to actually use it

No app to download

The biggest adoption killer at events is asking people to download something. Afín runs in the browser. Always.

30 seconds to get started

Name, role, interests, optional contact. No email, no password, no profile picture. If it takes effort, they won't use it.

Your brand, not ours

Attendees see your event's logo and colours. Afín is invisible. The experience belongs to you.

Real-time

Every person who arrives updates everyone else's matches. The value grows with the crowd.

Privacy by design

Contact is only shared when both parties want it. Profiles are anonymous and ephemeral — they disappear when the event ends.

Setup in 5 minutes

Create the event, print the QR, put it at the entrance. No integration, no technician, no training needed.
