SureToMeet

We span disciplines and continents, and share a common dream: to help our families, friends and business associates find compatible people, and meet them face to face. Our mission is simple: "Make matching simple! But the underlying work is incredibly complex. Not only are we making our matching system the best in the world, we also want to make it... the most productiveallowing people to find their most compatible matches at real-time events, from neighborhood business mixers to huge, multi-venue conventions. Cofounder and CEO: Carolyn Allen ~ Mom provided not only pizza and root beer for all the father-and-son weekend sessions, but lent her marketing communications and community leadership experience to the system design and development. Carolyn spawned the idea for a "business match-making" system when she, as Creative Director of Allen Marketing, a high-tech marketing agency, observed the difficulty entrepreneurs had finding the right team members and early employees. Chris added his insightful technical design and Cliff added his business networking experience and marketing design and voila MatchUp was created. Carolyn has since assumed the role of CEO and heads up the development stage marketing and outreach efforts to let the business community know that she feels their pain and has found a better way to network productively. Cofounder and COO: Chris Allen ~ This family business has spanned the generations with Chris' programming and systems design. An Academy Awards® winner for his systems work in the movie industry, Chris collaborated with his father to develop the powerful computational engine behind the SureToMeet and MatchUp systems. As COO and technical director he is responsible for the development and launch of MatchUp, our patented matching system for event Attendees, Organizers and Sponsors.Read More
