Meet the people actually worth meeting.
Most event apps are event-first — calendars, attendee lists, RSVPs, tickets. MeetWho is people-first: meaningful introductions, the context behind every meeting, and a relationship memory that lives on long after the meetup ends — from Britomart to Wynyard Quarter, Cuba Street to the Christchurch Innovation Precinct.
Event apps organise your day.
MeetWho organises your network.
Other products solve the logistics — sign-ups, check-ins, agendas, group chats. Those problems are already sorted. The real problem sits one layer up: in a room of 200 people at a GridAKL mixer, who are the three that make the next 90 minutes genuinely worth it?
Open the app — you see events.
- The focus: calendars and RSVPs.
- People are just a row in a list — no ranking, no context.
- Networking is a tab, not the product.
- When the meetup ends, the people vanish from the app.
Open the app — you see who to meet.
- The focus: meaningful recommendations.
- Every suggestion tells you why: shared goals, complementary expertise, common context.
- Events are venues, not destinations.
- Conversations become relationship memory you can actually use later.
Six steps. One relationship at a time.
Everything in this product serves this loop. Anything that can't take you from Discover to Revisit doesn't earn a place on the screen.
Find the people worth your time.
For every meetup, a carefully curated shortlist — not a long list of names, but a short list of reasons.
See why the meeting matters.
Each recommendation spells out the shared goals, complementary expertise and common context. No black-box percentages.
Send an introduction, not a cold message.
A single sentence before you meet. Both sides know the context. Both sides opt in.
Meet in the room, for real.
Scan each other's QR code on the day. MeetWho quietly records the moment for both of you.
Keep the conversation, not just the name.
Private notes, tags, what you talked about, what's next. Not another pile of business cards — a relationship memory that's genuinely yours.
Turn moments into a real network.
When it's time to reconnect, a gentle nudge — tomorrow, next week, next month. At your pace.
The features we refuse to build matter as much as the ones we do.
Every product decision has a cost: attention, trust, time. MeetWho has already paid those costs on your behalf.
- Every recommendation comes with a reason.
- Curated shortlists with real context.
- Introductions with a single opening line.
- Private notes tied to the person.
- One core identity, with per-event intent.
- Notifications tied to real relationships.
- Black-box percentage matching.
- Flat attendee lists sorted by sign-up order.
- Unlimited cold messages to strangers.
- A separate notes app disconnected from your network.
- Ten business cards to maintain in parallel.
- 'Someone viewed your profile' harassment.
For the people who go to meetups to actually meet people.
MeetWho isn't an address book, and it isn't a chat app pretending to be an event platform. It's built for Kiwis who — the moment they leave the house — expect the room to be worth it.
For founders
Find your next co-founder, investor or first customers — with the context that makes those five-minute intros genuinely worth it, whether you're pitching at GridAKL, Icehouse Ventures or a Wellington investor breakfast.
For operators and builders
Meet the people actually solving this quarter's problem — not anyone chasing a sponsorship deal.
For community organisers
Turn attendance into outcomes. Let your community feel that showing up to your meetup — from Ponsonby to Petone to Ōtautahi — was genuinely worth the trip.
For people over small talk
Walk in already knowing who to meet. Walk out with three conversations you'll actually remember.
Networking isn't the point. Meeting the right people — is.
We don't want you to attend more events. We want the meetups you already attend — a flat white on Ponsonby Road, a founder dinner in Britomart, a demo night at GridAKL — to be genuinely worth it: a meaningful introduction, an honest kōrero, a relationship you'll actually remember. One at a time.
