Meaningful Connection Wherever People Gather

Meet the faces behind the platform.

Our Story

Ashlee Ammons

In November 2014, while living in NYC, I attended a work conference. At the lunch break, the event host got up in front of the room and suggested, as an icebreaker, that we each go up to someone with the same color dot on their nametag and introduce ourselves. I chalked it up to another awkward networking event and enjoyed the rest of lunch in front of my phone, but came away without any new meaningful connections. Later that day, I spoke to my mom on the phone and relayed the day’s lackluster outcome. Her response: a similar disappointing networking event the same weekend.

After talking at length, we agreed there had to be a better way. And four hours later, we knew the path we wanted to take to create something better. That’s when Mixtroz was born.

We’re all about serendipitous interaction that sparks meaningful connection. And we’re proud to be in this together.

Who’s Talking About Us

“

Mixtroz transforms corporate events—and their business model—to meet the needs of a virtual world.”

“

Virtual events are terrible for meeting people. Mixtroz is ready to fix that.”

“

Helps them (attendees) connect at the event more productively.”

“

You need to force people to mix and mingle, so come up with a discussion topic and randomly divide them into breakout groups. Use Mixtroz to split them up based on how they answer surveys, similarly or differently.”
