A platform for B2B matchmaking

Skipso helps you build a structured matchmaking platform where organisations, startups, and partners can discover each other, connect based on mutual fit, and develop meaningful business relationships - all managed from one platform.

DISCOVER

Enable organisations to search a structured directory of partners, solutions, and capabilities relevant to their needs.

MATCH

Use AI-powered recommendations to surface the most relevant connections based on profile data, sector, and stated interests.

CONNECT

Facilitate introductions and collaboration requests directly through the platform, with messaging and opportunity posting.

GROW

Track and monitor relationships as they develop, and measure the value of connections made through your platform.

Build a searchable partner directory

A B2B matchmaking platform starts with rich, structured profiles. Skipso enables every organisation, startup, or partner in your community to build a detailed profile - capturing sector, capabilities, technology areas, and what they're looking for. The result is a searchable, living directory that your entire network can use to find and filter relevant connections.

Rich organisational profiles

Members create comprehensive profiles showcasing their products, services, expertise, and collaboration needs — giving other members the context to assess fit before reaching out.

Advanced search and filtering

Users can search and filter the directory by sector, technology, geography, company size, and interest areas — surfacing relevant partners quickly and accurately.

AI-powered matching

Skipso's recommendation engine actively surfaces the most relevant connections for every member - reducing the friction of finding the right partners and keeping your community engaged.

Intelligent recommendations

Based on each member's profile and stated areas of interest, Skipso automatically recommends the most relevant organisations, opportunities, and connections from across your ecosystem.

Structured connection requests

Members can express interest or request introductions directly through the platform — with the ability to route introductions via your team or enable direct member-to-member contact based on your programme design.

Run structured matchmaking initiatives

Beyond passive discovery, Skipso supports active B2B matchmaking - from structured open calls and challenge-based matching to curated connection programmes and targeted outreach.

Challenge-based matching

Post B2B challenges or opportunity calls and match the most relevant organisations to each - with structured application and evaluation workflows built in.

Community events and resources

Strengthen connections through shared events, resources, and announcements - keeping your B2B community engaged and active between formal matchmaking initiatives.
