What do you dislike about Braindate?

Instead of having to scan a QR code, there could be an easier/frictionless way to connect digital after a braindate, ensuring that users stay in contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Braindate Changed My Life!"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

Seriously. At C2 MTL, I used my Braindate convos as a sounding board for my new business idea. One of my dates invited me into a global network of extraordinary leaders hatching a better world. My new connections gave me the fuel I needed to launch this project into a business that inspires people to matter – to themselves, to others and to the world. The result: Two Steps Out is now live and realizing its mission!

Gratitude to Braindate for sparking this meaningful growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

No-shows - meaning, when my scheduled date doesn't show up.

It has nothing to do with the Braindate crew, but they have always been highly empathetic and took the time to chat with me while I'm waiting.

They even offered me some goodies to make up for my disappointment. You can see the Braindate people care truly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braindate solving and how is that benefiting you?

I seek to connect deeply with smart and interesting people. I believe a long conversation with several people has way more impact than shaking hands and exchanging business cards (which I don't carry anymore). Braindate conversations allow me to connect at a deeper level with potential allies, clients, inspirers, and those who will appreciate the richness of the insights I have to share. Basically, Braindate gives me the space-time I need to have meaningful conversations to evolve in so many ways, personally and business wise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is like.... the best platform EVER for learning and networking at Events."

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

Everything... It was my first time using Braindate and I didn't know a single person at the 10,000 attendee SaaStr 2022 event prior to going. Ahead of my trip, I scheduled about 10 1:1 meetings and got a ton of interest in Braindates I posted. My boss was happy I connected with so many potential clients, I looked great.. and most of all I made the connections I wanted to have. It was brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

I would have liked an easier way to search for other people at the event... To search for job type, company type, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braindate solving and how is that benefiting you?

My pain point is meeting the right people and getting our name recognition out there to small and medium sized SaaS companies looking to expand sales revenue in Asia. I can capture a LOT of interest on a braindate platform at most software events. It's amazing for me personally and professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That individuals can post topics to talk about, group dates are great too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

Clunky app, UX is pretty poor. Pressing the back button a bunch to get back to the main menu of dates is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes care of the hard part of networking!"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

Braindate is one of my new favorite ways of networking! I first came across braindate at the SaaStr conference, and it made it ridiculously easy to have both meaningful connections AND conversations, through a facilitated networking platform.

It takes care of the "randomness" of networking and helps pair people with like-minded goals, or conversations. Would love to see this at every conference!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

The only least helpful part I can think of was probably the crowd to get through when attending a braindate session. It was definitely organized, but it took some time to get seated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A super valuable solution for effective networking and education"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

I loved how I could schedule meetings ahead of time with specific topics, as it set expectations for both attendees. I also loved the ability to host my own group braindates and share my knowledge with others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

Sometimes it was hard to check in online but I think it was the venue internet issue more. Maybe some optimization of the UX to be make it even smoother but overall loved it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
