Company mission
To empower professionals to achieve their networking potential.
Our take
Grip is an AI-powered event networking solution that empowers professionals with quality interactions, and the event industry with full-cycle support and valuable insights. At its core, its proprietary technology drives intelligent recommendations through a self-learning matchmaking engine.
The platform leverages natural language processing, advanced algorithms and deep neural networks to constantly learn about the professional goals and interests of visitors, exhibitors and sponsors. This enables a higher return on time for professionals, and a higher return on investment for exhibitors, sponsors and event organisers.
As people swing back into in-person events, Grip is still in a strong position to aid event organizers in delivering live, virtual and hybrid events via its software solutions. This ability to cover all types of event retains Grip as one of the top players in the industry.

Growing fast
Dec 2020
Grip has developed a collaborative way of working, where all teams are encouraged to give input along the way, meaning that many features change along their development life cycle and end up better than at conception. Most of the work I am given is new feature development, where I am given the freedom to develop the feature the way I think is best, with more senior members of the team there to guide me if I need it.

Everyone who I have met at Grip is incredibly smart, transparent in their communication style and passionate about their work. The platform is incredibly specialised and often we have to deal with very specific edge cases in order to give the best user experience to every user, and my colleagues have taught me to see the technology opportunities in real world problems..
