Speed networking rounds: everyone is matched at once. Then again.

Lobby, everyone paired, your one-to-one call, shuffle, next round. The room does the matching, so nobody calls "switch".

brainsmingle.com/speed-networking/ai-builders-mingle

Twelve people wait in a lobby, are all paired at the same moment, one pair zooms into a timed one-to-one video call with a conversation starter, then everyone returns to the lobby and is paired again with someone new.

This is a real round.

One clock for both of you, a starter question if the talk stalls, and a private check-in when the call ends.

A live one-to-one call: two video tiles named Lena K. and Noah A., a Time left 4:50 pill, and a conversation starter that reads: What is the most overrated tool in your stack?
Quick check-in after a call: How was that match? Useful, Meh or Bad. Your feedback stays private, the other person can't see it.

Hosting a room?

Set the clock, the roles and who can join. The room does the matching. Everything below is for hosts.

Founders meet investors. Students meet employers.

Name two roles for your room, and people pick theirs when they join. Then choose how they meet.

  1. OppositeOne side always meets the other: founder and investor, mentee and mentor.
  2. SamePeople meet within their own role, for peer rooms inside a cohort.
  3. No rolesPaired with no repeats. Good for open community mixers.

Matching uses roles and who you've already met. It doesn't guess from your profile.

Questions

Before your first room.

Anything else? Talk to the team

Isn't speed networking awkward?
Rounds are short, there's a conversation starter on screen, and you never meet the same person twice. The timer ends the call for both of you, so nobody has to find a polite way out.
What happens when the timer runs out?
The call ends for both of you at the same moment and you're back in the lobby, ready for your next match. The last round is shortened so it ends before the outro call.
What if I join late?
You land in the lobby like everyone else. Press Meet someone new and you're paired with someone who's free, never with someone you've already met.
Can I leave before the room ends?
Yes. Leave whenever you need to. Everyone you've already met stays in your connections.
Can I join from my phone?
Yes. The lobby and the one-to-one calls work on a phone, as they do on a computer.
Do I need a big crowd?
No. It works from small groups. Set the room length and call length and the form shows how many conversations fit, so you can plan around the people you actually have.
How are people matched?
With no repeats, or by two roles you define, matched as Opposite (one side meets the other) or Same (peers meet peers). It doesn't match on profile interests.
What does it cost?
Joining a room is free. Hosting speed networking rooms is on the Community plan, and included in every white-label deployment. You can charge for tickets in USD or EGP. See pricing
Can I join rooms just to meet people in my field?
Yes. Joining a room is free, and every round puts you face to face with someone new in your field. See BrainsMingle for professionals
Can I run it every week?
Yes. Make it a recurring room: daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or on custom days, with an optional end date.
Can my organization run it under its own name?
Yes. On the white-label platform, rooms run on your own platform with your logo, colours and domain. See the white-label platform

Your first round is free.

Join a room, meet someone in your field, and see who you'd like to talk to again.
