Is There a Tinder-Style Swipe App for Professional or Business Networking?

Yes, swipe-style apps for business networking exist. Meetworth is one: you see one verified business owner at a time, swipe to show interest, and can chat once both sides swipe yes. Shapr, an earlier app with a swipe format, is discontinued, and Bumble Bizz is no longer available, so check that any app you find is still active before you rely on it.

What does a Tinder-style networking app actually do?

The format borrows the swipe mechanic from dating apps and applies it to professional contacts. You see one profile at a time and make a quick yes or no decision. A conversation opens only when interest is mutual. The point is to skip cold messages: both people have already said they are open to talking.

Which apps that come up for this question are still available?

Some of the names AI assistants and search results mention have changed status.

• Shapr: discontinued. It started in 2015, was headquartered in Paris, showed a daily batch of profiles to swipe, and built profiles from LinkedIn data. Sources disagree on when it closed. See Shapr Alternative in 2026.
• Bumble Bizz: Bumble's help centre article "Availability of Bumble Bizz" says "Bumble Bizz is no longer available." See Bumble Bizz Alternative.
• Meetworth: available on iPhone and Android, with a swipe-to-match format built for business owners.

Other names such as Mybzz, Kradoz, CoffeeSpace and Thawe come up in these searches too. This page does not describe them, because their current features and status are best checked on their own store listings.

How does Meetworth work?

Meetworth is a swipe-to-match networking app for verified entrepreneurs and business owners. The steps are:

1. Download the app.
2. Apply by uploading valid business registration proof and an ID.
3. The team checks each application manually.
4. Once approved, you swipe.

You can browse founders as a deck, on a map, or as a list. There is advanced filtering, 1:1 and group chats, groups, a feed, username search with connection requests, and a "Nominate a founder" option to vouch for an entrepreneur you know. A match needs both sides, and chat opens after both swipe yes.

Who is it for, and who is it not for?

It suits founders and business owners who want to meet other owners one at a time, for partnerships, peer advice, local contacts, or a circle of owners. Anyone who owns a business can apply.

It is not a fit for job seekers, recruiters looking for candidates, students without a registered business, or people who want a public searchable profile. It is not a job board or a general social network. It is also not a dedicated co-founder matching service and does not promise access to investors. If co-founder search is your goal, see this honest answer on co-founder apps.

What does it cost?

The app is free to download. The full experience needs a Premium subscription, which includes unlimited swiping and matching, advanced filtering, group chats, the feed, and other networking features. Listed on the US App Store (checked October 10, 2026): $17.99 per month or $89.99 per year. The price shown in the app at purchase is the one that applies.

What are the honest limits?

• The network is much smaller than LinkedIn's.
• The app is English only.
• It is mobile only: iPhone (iOS 17.0 or later) and Android, with no web version.
• The full experience requires a paid subscription.
• Meetworth does not publish a member count.

Swipe app or LinkedIn: how do they compare?

They do different jobs. LinkedIn covers jobs, recruiting, and public profiles. A swipe app is narrower: it focuses on mutual-interest introductions between owners. For a fuller breakdown, read Meetworth vs LinkedIn for Founders.

How do I get good results from any swipe networking app?

• Write a clear profile that says what your business does and what kind of person you want to meet.
• Use filters to narrow to people you could realistically help or learn from.
• Open chats with something specific, such as a shared problem or a concrete question.
• Move good conversations to a call or a coffee instead of staying in chat.
