How to supercharge your virtual networking at Disrupt 2020

Get ready for five days of education, action and opportunity at Disrupt 2020 on Sept. 14-18. This year the programing and networking may be virtual, but the connections you make and the benefits you derive are very real. If the idea of virtual networking feels somehow less potent, we have great news for you.

We’ve supercharged CrunchMatch, our AI-powered networking platform, to help bridge the physical distance of a virtual conference.

Not familiar with CrunchMatch? The platform helps you zero in on the people who align with your business goals. You create a profile listing your specific criteria, goals and interests. The CrunchMatch algorithm kicks into gear to find like-minded startuppers and influencers. The platform suggests matches and, subject to your approval, proposes meeting times and sends meeting requests.

The CrunchMatch platform is such a smart, useful tool. It lets you see who’s there, find the right people and reach out for a meeting. I scheduled five or six appointments in one day. The meetings were small, intimate and very informative. — Felicia Jackson, inventor and founder of CPRWrap.

What’s so different about this new and improved CrunchMatch? We’ve upgraded the AI engine to make matching and recommendations faster and more precise. It simplifies the onboarding process by taking the preferences you list during registration and matching them to others. Plus, the more you use it, the smarter it gets to take some of the work around finding the right person to chat with.

Everyone who buys a Digital PRO Pass has access to CrunchMatch. Given that Disrupt 2020 will have a global audience, this is the tool you want to make your networking more targeted and efficient.

And now for a big “but wait there’s more” moment — startup founders who purchase a Disrupt Digital Startup Alley Package will be able to use the enhanced platform to create a company profile and landing page — promote your products and services, post your pitch deck, embed a marketing video and track leads.

Even better news: CrunchMatch will go live weeks before Disrupt 2020 begins. Translation: More time to showcase your startup, connect and schedule 1:1 video meetings with potential customers, investors and other experts across the startup ecosystem. Highlight your company’s products and services, recruit talent and strut your startup stuff to the world.

Make the most of the opportunities waiting for you at Disrupt 2020. Buy a Digital PRO Pass or a Disrupt Digital Startup Alley Package, fire up CrunchMatch and get down to the business of connecting with the people who can move your business forward.
