What factors influence the match score? How is the match score generated on the platform?
The match score on the Startups Members Matching page is designed to help you identify the most compatible connections within the community. Match scores are typically calculated based on several key factors:
-
Profile Similarity: Alignment in areas such as industry, startup stage, goals, and interests can significantly impact the match score.
-
Location Proximity: Geographical closeness may be considered, especially if local networking or in-person meetings are relevant.
-
Engagement Levels: Active participation on the platform, such as profile completeness and responsiveness, can influence compatibility assessments.
-
Mutual Interests: Shared objectives, such as seeking mentorship or collaboration opportunities, can enhance match quality.
Your match results may also change if you refine your search by specifying your needs, prioritizing certain skills, or selecting a specific location.
