What Really Works — and Why It's Not Down to Chance.

Five factors determine good networking. Only pynq meets them all at once.

Factor 1

Networking is possible

Factor 2

It's clear in advance who's attending

Factor 3

It's clear in advance who offers and is looking for what

Factor 4

Mutual interest is confirmed

Factor 5

Effective & time-saving for everyone involved

Stage 1 · The Room

The organizer provides a space for networking.

Networking happens ad hoc — who meets whom is left to chance.

✓

Only about 20 % (the extroverted attendees) proactively approach others. The probability that a contact is, by chance, relevant for both sides is around 25 %. So the chance that a good contact actually happens randomly is only about 5 %.

Stage 2 · The List

There's a list of attendees that can be viewed in advance.

Those who want to can prepare and send targeted requests.

✓

Very time-consuming. Used intensively mostly by those who have something to sell, less so by everyone else. Frustration on both sides.

Stage 3 · The Filtered Shortlist

There are suggested attendees, filtered by factors.

The list gets smaller and more relevant — but reaching out is still up to each individual.

✓

Some get lots of requests, others none. Finding the right match while both are actually available: time-consuming and uncertain.

Stage 4 · The Real Match — pynq

There are real, qualified matches that are optimal for both sides.

No searching, no asking, no coordinating — the match is set.

✓

Both sides benefit according to all relevant criteria. Time and place are fixed — attendees can focus on what really matters: making the most of the optimal contacts.

How pynq Makes Your Top 5% Matches Possible

Only for about 25 % of all possible contacts do the criteria really fit both sides. Among these, our algorithms (e. g. the Nobel Prize-winning Deferred Acceptance Algorithm) determine the optimal matches round by round. For example, with 100 attendees and 5 desired matches per person, everyone gets their top 5%.*

That's what pynq is for!

100 %

All possible matches

25 %

Criteria fit both sides

5 %

The optimal matches

*Sample calculation: With 100 attendees, where everyone could talk to everyone, there are 4,950 possible matches. For about a quarter (approx. 1,250), the search criteria fit on both sides (not for 75 %!). From these, the best 50 matches are determined per round, one per person, game-theoretically optimal. With 5 desired matches per attendee, that's the top 5 % of all matches! (Sample data for illustration)
