Partners
Put your team in the room where founders meet the investors who write checks.
MATCH HOUSE runs curated founder-investor rooms in the cities it visits. Partners get seats in a room picked by stage and thesis, and a QR guests use to book time with their team on the spot. We work out the shape on a 20-minute call; there are no packages on this page.

What partners walk away with
Seats in the room
Your team is on the guest list, in the same room as the founders and investors.
A QR that books meetings
Your spot gets a Boop QR code. A guest scans it, texts, and books time with your reps on the spot, while the interest is still there.
Your offer where guests look
Every guest's day-of page has a Partners section with each partner's offer and link. In San Francisco: offers from HubSpot for Startups, Deel and MongoDB.
What we don't sell: guaranteed meetings. We pick the room and run the matching; who wants to talk to you is up to them.
How a night runs

Matching
Before the night, each guest sees the people picked for them and says yes to who they want to meet.

Program
Panels and firesides. In San Francisco, a pitch competition too.
04
MATCH HOUR
Every guest gets their 1:1s by text, table number included. Six rounds back to back in San Francisco: 383 1:1s.

Questions partners ask
Do you guarantee meetings?
No. We stand behind how the room is picked; who wants to talk to you is up to them.

2027 is being planned now; dates go to the list first. For a partnership, start with the call.
Who runs it?
MatchPlay, Boop and First Glance produce MATCH HOUSE. Boop runs the matching and the texts.
What does it cost?
It depends on the city and what you want from the night. That's the call.
