Serendipity matching for innovation and new business

Contacts are everything.

Matchbird identifies business and innovation opportunities for companies that were previously impossible to plan for. To do so, Matchbird analyses market and company data and connects it using a proprietary data-graph technology and artificial intelligence. This makes relevant potential visible and brings the right decision-makers together.

Reference clients from a wide range of industries

Undiscovered potential

The best opportunities often lie outside familiar search radii

Companies looking for innovation, partners and new fields of application mostly search within already familiar markets and networks. Valid opportunities in other industries or applications remain invisible, even though they would make economic sense.

What Matchbird does differently

Chance with a system

Matchbird is neither a lead database nor a classic automated matching tool. Matchbird combines publicly available company and market data with a proprietary data-graph technology and artificial intelligence. The resulting potential is combined with human-guided networking — to make hidden chances visible and economically usable that classic innovation management often overlooks.

The process

How Matchbird works

From first analysis to evaluated outcome.

01

Partner profile

Matchbird analyses publicly available company information and signs an NDA with the partner company.

02

Target framework

Concrete goals are jointly defined, confidential interests shared and special competencies identified.

03

Matching proposals

Parametrically verified matching proposals emerge in regular jour-fixe sessions, backed by data-graph analysis and AI.

04

Networking

If both parties accept a proposal, a structured matching process begins, guided by Matchbird.

05

Feedback

Both parties rate the exchange as MATCH or NO MATCH.

  • MATCH: value creation, development, business, collaboration
  • NO MATCH: contact remains, idea doesn't fit right now, competencies don't align enough
Our USPs

Four principles that make the difference

Cross-industry networking

Matchbird connects companies specifically across industry and national boundaries. Solutions that already work can be transferred to other industries, saving development resources and solving entrenched problems.

Serendipity with a system

Penicillin, the microwave – great innovations often emerged from lucky accidents known in science as serendipity. Matchbird identifies opportunities to leverage promising serendipity effects.

Smart technology

The proprietary data-graph technology for parametric intersection analysis combines available company and market data with AI-powered analysis and process automation. This identifies hidden connections — hidden chances — and makes them economically usable.

Out of the box

Matchbird deliberately researches beyond established search radii and also examines unconventional connections – for valid proposals that classic innovation management often fails to find.

Case studies

Unexpected connections become business

Three real matching processes – each from the starting point to the concrete opportunity.

Sensors → Building technology
Starting point

A building-technology company developed smart air sensors.

↓ unexpected connection
Matching

Through a potential analysis, Matchbird identified a lighting manufacturer looking to add smart features to its products.

Result

Matchbird brought both companies together, laying the foundation for an innovative collaboration.

Recycling → Pharma
Starting point

A building-materials manufacturer was seeking an additive to improve the recyclability of an ecological straw insulation board.

↓ unexpected connection
Matching

The matching process led to a pharmaceutical producer with a suitable disintegrant from granulate production.

Result

Thanks to the additive, the boards can now safely decompose during composting.

Pump technology → Hydrogen
Starting point

A pump manufacturer was looking for new applications for its precision products beyond its previous core target groups.

↓ unexpected connection
Matching

Matchbird verified demand in the growth field of hydrogen.

Result

Matchbird initiated matching processes with several new electrolyser manufacturers.

Voices from the field

What our partners say

Als mittelständischer Spezialist für elektrische Energieverteilung sind wir in unseren Kernbranchen sehr gut vernetzt. Aber natürlich kennen wir nie alle potenziellen Kunden oder Technologiepartner. Matchbird schaut für Kautz über den Tellerrand hinaus und behält das große Ganze im Blick, so dass wir hochinteressante Kontakte bekommen, die wir mit unseren eigenen Mitteln gar nicht hätten identifizieren können.

Axel Horstmann CEO, Kautz Starkstrom-Anlagen GmbH

Ich war beeindruckt von der schnellen Reaktion von Matchbird und der Qualität der Kontaktvorschläge. Es war sofort klar, dass die Kontakte auf Grundlage unserer spezifischen Anforderungen ausgewählt worden waren. So konnten wir uns in kurzer Zeit mit einigen vielversprechenden potenziellen Kooperationspartnern austauschen — so macht man Networking effektiv.

Amir Roughani Gründer & Geschäftsführer, VISPIRON GmbH

Als junges Unternehmen knüpfen wir ständig neue Kontakte, können aber nicht bei jeder Veranstaltung dabei sein. Deshalb nutzen wir Matchbird als zusätzlichen Kanal, um die richtigen Leute außerhalb unseres Beziehungsnetzwerks kennenzulernen. Das spart uns eine Menge Zeit, denn der Matchbird-Filter stellt sicher, dass alle Kontakte eine wirklich gute Qualität haben.
