beep is a 30-second mutual consent layer for in-person events. It quietly tells two people "you will probably like each other - go talk" before anyone has to make the first move.
Tell us you would like to use beep at a future event. We will send you a 1-page LOI template you can sign or adapt.
Built for company off-sites, team days and curated events. No app download required.
People mostly talk to colleagues they already know; new conversations are rare and random.
Approaching a stranger is high-risk: you guess if there is overlap and hope you are not interrupting.
Some people get approached constantly; others barely get approached at all. Both experiences are exhausting.
Organisers spend on venues, travel and speakers, then watch the room split into islands after 30 minutes.
beep fixes one moment: the few seconds before you say "hi".
Guests scan a QR code at the door and answer 8-10 short questions your team picked for this event: why they are here, how they like to talk, basic boundaries and interests.
They get a disposable QR badge. No profile, no feed, nothing to maintain after the event.
Two people see each other, both scan each other's badge.
Both phones always show the same colour result. There is no negative "X" or public rejection; just one of three private signals on your own screen.
High overlap -`>` "you will probably click, go talk."
Some overlap -`>` "worth a short chat."
Low overlap / opposites -`>` "good for a quick debate, or a polite nod and move on."
After a match, both phones see one simple conversation starter based on what they share.

All of that effort is wasted if people do not know who to talk to. beep helps those high-value conversations happen faster and more reliably.

Turn the first 30 minutes of your event into qualified discovery that normally takes three coffee breaks and a happy hour.
A result only appears when both people scan.
Matching runs on device; we do not see who scanned whom.
Event data auto-expires; organisers only keep anonymised stats.
No feed, no DM, no social network attached.
Company off-sites and all-hands
Leadership and functional summits
Internal hackathons and innovation days
Curated community and alumni events
(Later) conferences and external meetups
Nightlife, festivals and public events use the same mechanic with different questions. The engine does not care if you are looking for a co-founder or a new friend.
We run structured pilots for teams and events from 80-500 attendees. You get a clear before/after comparison on conversations, follow-ups and attendance.
Non-binding, 1 page. It simply says: "If beep exists in time, we would like to use it at [Event X] under these conditions."
