Sample attendees from our demo event. Conecta also weighs what each person is there for.
How a suggestion is made
- 1
The organizer sets the menu
Start from one of five templates, then edit the interest categories, the interests in each and which goals each interest allows.
- 2
Attendees choose
When they join, people pick their interests and, for each one, what they are there for. They can change them later.
- 3
Conecta ranks
Shared interests and compatible goals decide most of the order. Weak matches below a minimum score are left out.
- 4
The ranking learns
With AI matching on, Conecta also compares profiles and learns from who you save, meet and message. Skipped people drop down.
Every suggestion shows its reasons
No mystery score. Here is why Andrei turns up near the top of Irina’s list.

Fintech and Fundraising
Each shared interest moves a person up, to a ceiling of five.
- What each is there for
Irina is meeting people. Andrei is investing.
Some pairings count for more: someone investing and someone looking to meet them is one of the strongest.
- What you do in the appLearns as you go
Saved, met, messaged
People you save, meet and message teach the ranking who else to show you. The organizer can switch this part off.
On Andrei’s profile, Irina sees the outcome in plain words: In common: Fundraising, Fintech. How matchmaking works
Interests and goals, scored together
Two founders who both like fintech may have little to offer each other. A founder and an investor who both like fintech probably do. That is why every interest carries a goal.
| Intent | Strongest pairing |
|---|---|
| Networking | Ranks highest with people investing, recruiting or mentoring |
| Investing | Ranks highest with people there for networking |
| Recruiting | Ranks highest with people there for networking |
| Mentoring | Ranks highly with people there for networking |
| Trading | Ranks highest with others there for trading |
Matchmaking questions
Something else? Write to us.
Is Conecta matchmaking AI?
Partly, and by choice. The core ranking is shared interests plus how well two people’s goals fit. On top of that, organizers can switch on AI matching, which compares profiles (role, company, what they do) and learns from activity such as saves, meetings and chats.
Do attendees see why someone was suggested?
Yes. Suggestions show the interests you have in common, and each profile has a Why you should meet section. There is no hidden score.
Can organizers control the matching?
Yes. They switch matchmaking and AI matching on or off, pick a template, edit categories and interests and choose which goals each interest allows.
What happens after a match?
Attendees open the profile and tap Meet or Message. Meetings are booked into free slots at a table, a venue location, a booth or online, and the other person accepts, declines or proposes another time.
