BadgeBridge

BadgeBridge is a mobile + web app (traditional + AI) that helps festival attendees and industry professionals actually meet the right people during chaotic festival days. Users import their festival schedule, set availability windows, and create a lightweight profile (role, genres, goals). The app suggests high-fit matches (buyers, programmers, press, filmmakers) and proposes specific meeting slots near venues, with one-tap confirmations and calendar holds. It also supports “micro-intros” via QR badge scans: scan someone’s QR, send a context note, and the app proposes two time/location options based on both schedules. The realistic angle: it won’t replace official accreditation systems or magically guarantee meetings—its value is reducing the friction of scheduling and follow-up when everyone is overloaded. Monetization is B2B (festival orgs, markets, delegations) plus optional pro accounts for heavy networkers.
