"for business networking purposes"
Why not online matchmaking / dating? Not being in that market I have no idea if this already exists, if not it sounds like a great idea for a startup. Or if it already crashed and burned that would be interesting to hear about.
So ... guys ... I have this unattached sister in law, kinda athletic, professionally employed, owns her own house, she is about as much of a PITA as her sister, aka my wife, so if I can put up with my wife you should be able to tolerate her little sister ...
From historical experience my attempts setting up blind dates between my SiL and guys I know, have all gotten shot down by my wife, aka her sister, with what summarizes to "WTF were you thinking". Assuming a similarity between matchmaking and business relationships, this might indicate issues with peer to peer connection building. At least a meta-moderation facility is likely needed.
Also if A sets up a hot date or business lunch between mutual friends B and C I could conceivably lose both B and C as friends if they hate each other. So in a game theory perspective the guy who does the least matchmaking comes out furthest ahead, right? But the purpose of the site was to do matchmaking, at least in theory and in PR. Although the real purpose would be to sell subscriptions and ads. I think I'm seeing another problem here.
