Detailed Review
Grip starts from the meeting rather than the registration form. Attendees and exhibitors are matched, meetings are scheduled before the event, and the app guides people during it.
The terms and conditions and the page footer name Intros.at Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, with an office in London, and the terms apply English law. The site says Grip was founded in 2016.
Meetings as the core product
Pre-scheduled meetings, VIP meetings, startup investor programmes and hosted buyer events each have a use-case page, which reflects how the tool is applied.
Lead retrieval lets exhibitors collect and rate contacts at the show.
A wider platform around it
The product menu also lists registration, badge printing, entrance scanning, speaker management, submission management and a 365 community extension.
A virtual and hybrid events page is part of the event types menu.
Security statement
The security page says Grip hosts on Amazon AWS data centres, certified ISO 27001, PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1 or SOC, and that the company holds Cyber Essentials.
No EU-only data location is claimed.
Limitations to Consider
Grip does not publish prices, and its focus on matchmaking means it is lighter on ticketing and streaming than Lyyti. The security page names AWS but no region. The operating company is registered in England and Wales.
Who Should Use Grip
Organisers of trade shows and hosted buyer programmes who measure success by the number of qualified meetings.
