Why MatchPoint?
Networking shouldn’t feel like a chore.
At MatchPoint, we believe that finding the right people at the right time should be less about luck and more about smart, intentional design.
Whether you’re running an event, attending one, or just trying to grow your network without the awkward guesswork, we’re here to make connections actually click.
No forced conversations. No standing around wondering who to talk to. Just the right people, meeting at the right moment (and actually wanting to keep in touch afterward).
How It Started
The idea for MatchPoint sparked in a surprisingly relatable moment: when Bill, a seasoned industry veteran with a deep network, found himself eating alone at a major event. Not because he didn’t know people, but because even the most connected professionals can slip through the cracks when networking relies on luck.
He shared the experience with Scott, and it sparked a months-long discussion between the two of them. They spent weeks dissecting a gap too big to ignore: while events are overflowing with potential, too few of those opportunities turn into meaningful, intentional connections. They knew there had to be a more strategic way to attend and exhibit at live events.
That insight became MatchPoint. A platform built to replace missed connections and awkward guesswork with smart, curated introductions, so the right people meet at the right moment, and leave with more than just badge scans.

Meet our Co-Founders
Bill McGlade, Co-Founder
Bill believes that networking shouldn’t be a game of chance. With two decades of growth expertise and a serious obsession with AI (having road-tested over 120 tools) he co-founded MatchPoint to bring high-level ROI to the palm of your hand.
Bill lives at the intersection of human creativity and cutting-edge tech, focusing his energy on turning “lucky encounters” into purposeful, data-driven connections. When he’s not building the future of networking, he trades AI prompts for “Dad duty,” wrangling two kids, one dog, and the occasional (and highly-coveted) moment of peace.
Scott Lebwohl, Co-Founder
Scott doesn’t just work in the events industry; he’s spent the last 15 years helping build it from the ground up. With a background in everything from global manufacturing to serving on the ESCA Board of Directors, Scott has an award-winning knack for spotting what’s broken and fixing it. He co-founded MatchPoint to solve the industry’s oldest problem: the “missed connection.” By trading guesswork for streamlined efficiency, he’s making sure every handshake at a conference actually counts.
When he’s not reimagining the trade show floor, Scott is usually in motion logging miles on a cycling trail, exploring a new country, or or cheering from the glass at his kids’ hockey games.
