About this opportunity

GateMate is a live events social app (iOS and Android, available across the US) that helps people actually meet each other at the events they're already at. Every event gets its own GateMate room. Attendees join by being inside the venue (geofenced), scanning an on-site QR code, or entering an event code. Then they can see who's in the room, filter by shared interests, chat in real time, and send intro requests. It's built for networking events, private events and parties, conferences, commun...

GateMate is a live events social app (iOS and Android, available across the US) that helps people actually meet each other at the events they're already at. Every event gets its own GateMate room. Attendees join by being inside the venue (geofenced), scanning an on-site QR code, or entering an event code. Then they can see who's in the room, filter by shared interests, chat in real time, and send intro requests. It's built for networking events, private events and parties, conferences, community gatherings, and venues that want their crowd to mix, especially the shy or introverted folks who usually leave without meeting anyone. Opportunities for brands: - Presenting sponsor of an event room: your logo and message in the room header every attendee sees from check-in to the end of the night - Branded room QR codes and on-site signage at partner events and venues - Sponsored icebreakers, prompts, and offers inside the room chat - Next-morning recap: attendees get a photo album of the night, and your brand can be featured in it - Post-event engagement report with aggregated, anonymized insight into how attendees engaged (room joins, connections made, chat activity) - Venue partnerships: ongoing sponsorship of a venue's GateMate room across its recurring events - Airport networking rooms: GateMate also runs geofenced airport rooms in Dallas (DFW and Love Field), Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Seattle, and El Paso We're growing event by event with networking groups, community organizers, and venues, starting in Dallas-Fort Worth and expanding nationwide. If your brand wants to be part of the moment people connect in person, not just a logo on a step-and-repeat, GateMate is a great fit.
