I showed up out of curiosity, with zero expectations — and we’re still in touch. We’re already talking about a project together. It was a great conversation; I’d happily do it again. 😍👍
A new format of 1:1 connections from CardBook
Meet someone you wouldn’t meet otherwise.
Classic networking is dead — and you can’t build trust with a business card.
MatchBook introduces you one-on-one to someone you would never have met on your own.
You already have enough contacts
But when you actually need someone,you often don’t know who to reach out to.
Because
contact≠connection
MatchBook helps you take the first step from acquaintance to trust.
What makes MatchBook different
- Not an event
- Not dating
- Not lead generation
01
1:1
One person instead of dozens of random contacts.
02
Unexpected
You don’t know in advance who you’ll meet.
03
Curated
We design the introduction deliberately, not leave it to chance.
04
Human
No pressure to sell or gain anything right away.
05
Open-ended
We don’t decide in advance how your meeting should end.
We create the first introduction. You decide what happens next.
How it works
Tell us about yourself
A short questionnaire: who you are, what you do, what kind of people you connect with.
We find your match
We consider not just your field, but context, interests, and conversation potential.
Choose the time and place
Coffee, lunch, or a walk — whatever format suits you.
The meeting
You’ll find out who’s across the table only right before it starts.
What comes next is your story
Keep the conversation going, start something together, or simply take away a great conversation.
Why you don’t know who you’ll meet
Too often, we only meet the people we already know how to look for: an entrepreneur looks for another entrepreneur, a marketer looks for another marketer.

MatchBook leaves room for intrigue and surprise.
There’s no single “perfect match.” You don’t have to look for a client — just be open to new people.
Who MatchBook is for
- 01Want to expand your circle
- 02Recently moved to Israel
- 03Growing your business or career
- 04Looking for connections without sales pressure
- 05Want new friends
- 06Simply love meeting interesting people
What you get
More than just an introduction. It’s a chance that can change your path.
01
One new connection
Someone you might never have met on your own.
02
Real conversation
Time to talk without event noise or the pressure to meet everyone.
03
New perspective
A different experience, field, story, or outlook on life or business.
04
A starting point
Not a finished outcome, but a chance to build one.
What we don’t promise
We don’t hand you clients on a silver platter.
Because one meeting doesn’t build trust.
- a client
- a partner
- an investor
- a deal
- a lead
You can’t sell trust. You have to build it.
Trust has to be built.
We create the introduction — you build the relationship.
You can never know who the person across from you will become
Today
You’re just having coffee.
In a month
You might be working on a project together.
In a year
You might be friends.
Or maybe
They’ll introduce you to the person who changes your career. Or maybe it just stays a great conversation.
And all of that is okay.
We don’t sell you the outcome of a connection. We give you the chance to start one.

FAQ
Do I need to be an entrepreneur?
No. MatchBook is for anyone who wants to expand their circle, professionally or personally.
Will I know in advance who I’m meeting?
No — the element of surprise is a core part of the format. But don’t worry, we review every application before making an introduction.
Is this dating?
No, MatchBook is not about romantic connections.
What if we don’t click?
That can happen. We create a quality introduction — if for some reason it doesn’t work out, you can let us know.
How much does it cost?
We work on a donation system, and you choose the amount you feel is valuable for the meeting.
What happens after the meeting?
That’s up to you — keep talking, or simply take away a new experience.
Don’t look for “the right person.” Sometimes you can’t find them through a search. Sometimes you can only meet them.
