I'm a longtime lurker but not often enough commenter. I'm the co-founder of OpenDoor Meetings (www.opendoormeetings.com), which just launched and facilitates in-person introductions between business professionals with common interests and similar professional goals. You can think of us as Match.com meets LinkedIn.
We're an NYC based company focused on helping make in-person networking easier and more efficient to do. We make it simple to search and find relevant people in your field who have an "open door" policy to network with, and then through the site you can schedule time for a coffee or drink with them.
We fill the void left by LinkedIn which is great once you've met someone -- but how can you find relevant people to meet that you don't already know?
We're focused on three verticals to start with: financial services, law, and real estate. During our beta we signed up members from firms such as Goldman, Morgan, BlackRock, Deloitte, Weil Gotsal, Davis Polk, and more.
It'd be great to get any feedback on our site. If anyone is interested in testing it out, shoot me a note to jon@opendoormeetings.com and I'll get you immediate access after you sign up for an invite code. For our launch, we're focusing just on NYC, but then plan to expand to other cities.
Thanks for your time and feedback!
Should it be switched to a private Youtube link?
