Where real connections create real careers
Our Story
We’ve been on both sides of the table, from hiring managers and job seekers, to recruiters and networkers, passive candidates and people in transition. We’ve worked in enterprise tech, scrappy startups, agencies, and small businesses. And in every role, one truth kept surfacing:
The most meaningful opportunities come from real, human connection.
We’ve experienced firsthand how a conversation can change a career—the way a chance introduction can lead to a role you didn’t know existed, or how meeting the right person can open doors far beyond a single job posting. We’ve also felt the frustration of algorithms and job boards that reduce talent to keywords, missing the very people who could make the biggest impact.
Our founder saw this power in action while working at a leading tech enterprise. Events didn’t just fill current openings — they built evergreen pipelines of talent that made recruiting proactive instead of reactive. Recruiters became better, faster, and more connected. Candidates were seen for their full value, not just their résumé.
That’s why we created Connect&—to bring back the art of business networking.
We’re building a space where top talent and forward-thinking employers meet face-to-face, exchange ideas, and create opportunities that last far beyond a single conversation. Because you are your network, and your network is the key to your next chapter.
Our mission is simple:
To help people make meaningful connections that unlock opportunities they never thought possible.
At Connect& we’re not just organizing networking events, we’re transforming how careers and companies grow through authentic, curated connections. Because hiring isn’t about filling jobs—it’s about building futures.
