Getting started
What is Mingleround?
Event matching software for organizers. Participants register on their phone, you run timed rounds, and each participant answers privately about the people they met. When you release the results, only mutual matches are shown.
Is it only for dating events?
No. An event runs in dating mode or business mode. Business mode adds LinkedIn and work email on the profile, a private note per meeting and reports. Speed dating, singles events, networking, founder and investor matching and community mixers all use the same rounds.
What do I need to run an event?
A phone, a tablet or a laptop with a browser. Nothing to install.
Can I try it before a real event?
Yes. Add test participants, run a practice round, fill in random answers and open the event as one of them. Then clear it all with one tap. Test and practice registrations never count towards your price.
On the event day
Do participants need to install an app?
No. They register on a web page and follow the event from a link on their phone.
What kinds of rounds are there?
Timed one-to-one rounds, group rounds and mingling. Mingleround pairs everyone automatically, and one-to-one rounds avoid repeat pairings within the event. When you want to, you can lock, swap or pair by hand while the event runs, and add a bonus round for people left over.
Can I run an online event?
Yes. Video rounds are available as an add-on on Pro and Business. Both sides give consent before a call is recorded, and a recording is deleted automatically after 30 days.
Can I bring my own list of participants?
Yes. You can import a list from a CSV file, add people yourself, or share one registration link. At the door you check people in with a tap, or they scan a code.
Answers and matches
Who sees the answers?
Nobody sees a single answer until you release the results, not even you. After release, participants see only their mutual matches.
Can I read the chats between matches?
No. You see that a conversation exists, never the messages.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. Participants confirm they are 18 or older when they register.
Pricing
What does it cost?
