Whether you are looking for a new job, a new customer or simply want to keep up with the latest trends in your field a good business network is crucial. Establishing and maintaining a business network is one of the most important activities of an entrepreneur or business professional. But for a lot of people networking and socialising effectively is a difficult task. Where do you start? Who should you talk to? And what should you talk about when engaging a person you’re meeting for the very first time? These questions cannot be answered by merely looking at someone that you have not previously met.

The only thing you can do is start a conversation with someone and hope this person can potentially add value to you and your business. For many entrepreneurs and business professionals, this often means that after an evening of networking they have a limited amount of new connections to add to their network.

Knowing which people will attend an event and what they can help you with can make business networking much more efficient. So that’s why we have developed Patchwork. Patchwork lets you find relevant business networking events near you and matches you with other attendees based your networking goals, experiences, knowledge and interests. In short, our application saves you the trouble of having to trim the fat at an networking event by highlighting and matching you up with the most meaningful attendees in the room.
