MeetingWave helps you arrange targeted networking meetings with the exact type of people you want to meet.  Simply create invites describing the type of people you want to meet over coffee, lunch or other networking meeting.  You'll be notified by email when someone accepts.  You can ignore, decline or confirm any acceptance for any reason.  Meetings are only confirmed if everyone agrees to meet and your name and contact info are private until you are ready to exchange business cards. Or, search for invites created by other members and accept any of interest.

MeetingWave.com also launched a location-based apps which are promoted on the platform and interact with the site. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meetingwave/id401143055?mt=8 https://market.android.com/details?id=com.meetingwave.MW&feature=search_result The apps allow you to set up networking meetings on the fly with new people! Simply: (1) download; (2) create profile with some background info and meeting interests; and (3) click "Available".    We do not disclose specific location, name or contact info.  Others will send "meeting requests" if interested in meeting.  You can ignore, decline or say yes (and use double-blind messaging thereafter to arrange the meeting).   And, the apps and website include a verification feature.  Members can have their work or alumni email addresses "verified" by MeetingWave and display an indication of that verification (e.g., @ibm.com or @brown.edu) on their profile.
