People want rooms, not feeds
Berlin already pays for hosted ways to meet, from supper clubs to operator-led small-group evenings at around €25 a ticket.
INVESTOR BRIEF · BERLIN · 2026
Meet first.
Match after.
We run the room.
MatchQuest is the operating system for hosted social evenings. Guests book, arrive and meet; the app seats them, runs the table changes and keeps the follow-up private. Hosts and venues run more evenings, for more people, with less effort.
Product built and tested end to end.
Closed beta in Berlin, pilot evenings next.
WHY NOW
People want to meet in person.
Hosting it is still manual.
The room still runs on paper
Seating plans, rotations called out by hand and late arrivals cost hosts their evening and cap how many people one host can serve.
The spark ends at the door
Connections disappear into swapped handles. Nobody owns the private, mutual follow-up that makes guests come back.
WHAT WE BUILT
Built-in orchestration.
The part nobody else runs.
Seated from who arrived
Groups form from the guests checked in at the door, not the ticket list, so no-shows never leave a table half empty.
Table changes with a rhythm
Changes every 10 to 60 minutes, or none. Guests get a heads-up and choose to stay, move or take a break.
Only what needs the host
Late arrivals are seated if there’s room. Help and change requests reach the host; routine movement runs on its own.
The evening keeps working
Private choices, mutual matches with chat, and feedback the host sees as totals once enough guests have answered.
ONE EVENING, END TO END
Book. Arrive.
Meet. Follow up.
Ticketing tools stop at the door. MatchQuest keeps going through the evening itself and the morning after.
- 01
Book
Guests book with a complete profile and accept the code of conduct before they get a ticket.
- 02
Arrive
The host scans each ticket. New guests can join at the door with the host’s event QR code.
- 03
Meet
Each phone shows the table, the faces there and a first question. Table changes come with a heads-up.
- 04
Follow up
Guests choose privately. A mutual choice opens a chat; the host sees honest feedback as totals.
WHAT THE GUEST FEELS
Hosted in the room.
Guided on the phone.
Private afterwards.
Your table, on your phone
Once the ticket is scanned, the phone shows where to go, who is at the table and one question to start with.
New faces, if you want them
When tables change, the app mixes the room so guests meet people they haven’t met yet. Staying is always fine.
Help is one tap away
Call the host over, ask for a different group or head home early. A blocked person is never seated at the same table.
Choose privately, then chat
Guests mark friends, a date or no one. Only mutual choices are shared, and each one opens a private chat.
THREE SIDES, ONE EVENING
People, ideas and places.
Better together.
Guests
Come on your own to a hosted evening around something worth doing. Meet first, decide privately afterwards.
Hosts and organizers
Shape the format once. MatchQuest sells the tickets, runs the door, seats people, moves the room and carries the follow-up.
Venues
Fill quieter nights with guided evenings, either by welcoming organizers through booking requests or by hosting your own.
