Event Intro
About EventIntro
EventIntro is a small-event networking platform for cohorts of 10–100 people. We help facilitators turn one-off events into communities, and help attendees meet people who can actually help them — and whom they can help in return.
What we believe
- Small events outperform large conferences for networking. Two well-known threads of research — Dunbar (1992) on cognitive group-size limits and Granovetter (1973) on the strength of weak ties — converge on the case for small, intentional events. We've written about it in The Science of Small Groups.
- Cohorts beat one-off events for relationship-building. Single events compress relationship-formation into a few hours; communities spread it across multiple touchpoints across months. Weak ties have time to mature into the kind of callable connection that produces opportunity.
- Depth beats volume. Three to five conversations per attendee that cross the "you'd actually call this person" line are worth more than twenty business-card swaps.
Who built EventIntro
EventIntro is built by Dustin Kirk. The company is pre-customer and in active build today; we don't yet have aggregate outcome data of our own to share. We believe the small-group networking case is sound, and we're building the product against that conviction. As we have customer-event data we can publish without breaching attendee privacy, we will.
The product itself runs an LLM-driven matching pipeline on top of a five-question survey: profile enrichment, seek/offer keyword extraction, vector embeddings, complementary-fit search, and breakout-group formation. For a fuller pipeline description see The 15-Minute Event Setup.
