Seasoned event-tech team exits stealth mode with new funding & announces twine; a "deep networking" platform for virtual events & remote teams
Summary
twine was founded by veterans of DoubleDutch, a leading event technology company which amassed thousands of customers before being acquired by Cvent in 2019. "twine is our best effort to enable any virtual event or remote team to quickly and efficiently spark and strengthen meaningful relationships among their community, via the power of one to one conversation." The twine experience delivers "deep networking" via several key components; a customizable library of conversation starters, a proprietary matching algorithm, a flexible "opening act" delivered via video, configurable conversation settings, and an asynchronous video messenger to allow new connections to blossom. From Tahira Endean, Head of Events at SITE Global: "twine sets the stage for deeper connections in shorter time frames by creating a safe space for talking about big topics, not just where you are from or what you do. In the currently evolving climate of work and what matters in life surrounding people everywhere combined with a pressing need for human connection weighing on many of us, Twine offers a welcome warmth to the digital networking space that is critical now and will remain important for a forever changed future."
