We knew we could elevate networking.
Human connection is a critical aspect of everyone’s life, but forging lasting connections at networking events, conferences, and mixers remains challenging.
The excitement of meeting numerous individuals can lead to forgotten names, faces, and important details, and conversations cut short, hindering meaningful interactions. Nobody enjoys exchanging phone numbers, scanning QR codes, or handing out business cards.
Our Mission
To bridge the gap in networking by harnessing shared business goals, interests, hobbies, social and professional backgrounds, and mutual connections, creating a robust platform and networking tool that fosters memorable connections.
Where Common Fits In
Despite the presence of established DIY event management platforms with vast audience networks and newer ones that prioritize ease of use and simplicity, there remains a gap in the market: access to advanced featured such as live data metrics, which are often exclusive to mega-events like Comic Con San Francisco.
