2. Shpare disrupts the $300bn conference and trade show
industry by increasing tenfold the value each attendee
receives, delivered directly through our networking system

3. Traction
First paying customer:
Letter of intent signed
We’ve built the first version of the matching algorithm and tested it
out in the market with great response. We’ve also had our first
paying customer IDG that ran Shpare at Webbdagarna.

4. The Problem
Traditional networking
at conferences
8 out of 10 go to conferences for networking
purposes, but very few have a good experience.
It is:
- Difficult to know who to approach
- Wasting time talking to non relevant people
- Sticking to people one already knows
- Approach anxiety (not knowing what to talk about)
- Relying on luck to meet the right person at the right time

5. The Solution for attendees
Instead of having to go through a list of thousands of
attendees in a catalog Shpare gives you:
A curated list of the top 20 most important people for
YOU!

6. The Solution
Cross social network people analysis
We are analyzing all public and private data from several different social
networks. We can build the largest database of connected data and through
our matching algorithm tell who should meet who in real time.

7. The Solution
Exhibiting companies can pay an extra fee to be able to
attract qualified leads to their booths

8. The Solution
Getting the right people to
exhibiting companies at trade
shows
Companies pay huge amounts of money to exhibit at conferences
and trade shows, without knowing if it will pay off or not.
Shpare will generate qualified leads to their boots, for a small fee.
Companies can easily measure the return generated from their
attendance.

9. How it works
All attendees get an account pre-created and are
invited to the service one week prior to the conference

10. How it works
1. Activate account
2. Connect social
networks and see who
3. Send your business
your best matches are
card to person you want
to meet
4. When accepted, decide
place and time. Done!
Bonus: Receive special invites from selected
companies at the exhibition area.
