About ThinkMatch

AI-powered introductions for real-world events

Show up to parties, meetings, conventions, gatherings, and other events already knowing who you may want to meet, why you may connect, and with enough context to give the connection a real chance.

Built to change how people meet

ThinkMatch was built with one goal in mind: to use AI to transform real-world social interaction and make loneliness and the awkwardness of meeting new people obsolete. It makes meeting feel easier, warmer, and more intentional by helping people find the right person, group, or table before they walk into the room.

Free events at 500,000+ venues

ThinkMatch is free to use whether you join an event or create your own. The platform supports weekly events at 500,000+ venues nationwide, including restaurants, bars, schools, places of worship, and other real-world gathering places.

For guests and hosts

Guests can find events, answer questions, get matched, chat, video, and arrive with more confidence. Hosts can create public or private events, choose questions, invite people, and use Host & Earn to be rewarded for verified new-user participation.

Privacy and controlled communities

Communication can stay inside ThinkMatch, so guests do not need to share phone numbers or email addresses. Hosts can also restrict events to verified email domains for schools, companies, and private communities.

Why sharing matters

ThinkMatch works best when people bring others along. Sharing an event can deepen friendships, introduce friends of friends, and give the matching system enough participation to make the room feel more alive.

Built by Software995

Software995 also develops the Pdf995 Suite and Toolset and other long-running software products. ThinkMatch extends that product experience into real-world social connection.
