The founders of MatchPlay announced today the launch of its innovative platform which provides a tailored and highly personalized journey to entrepreneurship and startup development. The program focuses on close-knit mentorship through its core principle, coined “the Match” – a proven tactical use case connecting founders with precisely what they need at the specific time they need it.
The range of services include investing analysis, fundraising tools, mentorship, fast-tracking into top-accelerators, operational support, marketing and media relations. MatchPlay’s model is built upon the proven need of each founding team to be equipped with the most constructive tools and resources they need to scale effectively - at no cost.
Co-founder Mahesh Narayanan said, “It’s about making meaningful matches that truly move ventures forward no matter the stage, industry, vertical, or founder experience level.” MatchPlay recognizes the difficulty entrepreneurs face in choosing the right next steps, whether it be an accelerator, strategic decision, or other choice amidst the vast sea of opportunities. “We believe in the power of the right connection at the right time. MatchPlay isn’t just about connecting startups; it’s about ensuring those connections are fruitful,” said co-founder Shawheen Attar.
MatchPlay is committed to cultivating a holistic ecosystem, aiming to become a central Hub for knowledge sharing, deeper connections, and startup breakthroughs through a new take on the “network effect”. Steven Richer, co-founder, emphasizes MatchPlay's uniqueness: “At the heart of our platform is a due diligence process on startups that blends subjective insight with hard data to create pairings that make a real difference.” Additionally, expect engaging events, workshops, and webinars, all designed to enrich the founder journey at MatchPlay.
