Tell RandomCoffee what makes a good match for your program. It pairs hundreds of people in seconds, avoids repeat matches, and shows you why each pair works.
Trusted by 1,250+ organizations across more than 30 countries:
People who don’t click don’t come back, and the whole program loses its credibility.
“I got matched with Julien. Again.”
The same faces come back every round, and people stop signing up for something that feels random.
Every round checks the meeting history of all your programs first, so people meet someone new.
Meeting history“Pairing 300 people takes me two days.”
A spreadsheet, a dozen filters and a lot of guesswork, and it all starts over next month.
Rank your rules once. Every round is generated in seconds, ready for you to review.
Matching rules“My mentor can’t help with what I need.”
Mentors are assigned by availability, not by what the mentee actually wants to learn.
Match mentor skills with mentee goals, so every pair starts with something to work on.
Category overlapMix teams in coffee chats, keep buddies close to their new hire, and give every mentee a mentor with the skills they want to learn.
Every round builds bridges between teams that never talk.
Every new hire gets a buddy nearby, outside their own team.
Every mentee learns from someone who has the skills they want.
Combine as many rules as you need and rank them by importance. No spreadsheet, no formula: the order is the strategy.
Bring people together or apart on any profile field: text, list, date, number, choice or yes/no.

See how well each group meets your rules, spot the pairs that already met, and fix them in a click. Send the round when it looks right to you.
Pick the matching mode that fits the moment. Your rules and meeting history apply to all of them.
Pairs or groups that change every round, guided by your rules.
Every group brings together members of several audiences, like headquarters and field teams.
Define every seat: one mentor and one mentee, one buddy and one new hire. A mentor can take several mentees per round, up to a maximum you set or they choose.
Draw one group from the participants, add fixed people like an executive, and schedule a new draw every 1 to 4 weeks.
Everyone is matched with someone without an intro, and you decide when to reveal the pairs.
Your rules are only as good as your profiles. RandomCoffee keeps them complete and puts the matches to work.
Department, office, start date: profile fields stay up to date for your rules.

You rank your matching rules by priority. For every round, the algorithm scores the possible pairs or groups against those rules, the top rule always outweighing the ones below it, and keeps the combination with the best overall score for the whole program.
Any profile field: department, office, seniority, language, skills, goals, or answers to a registration form. Rules can bring people together or keep them apart, and you can also match audiences or specific members.
Meeting history comes first. The algorithm checks who already met across all your programs and pairs people with someone new whenever possible. In small groups, where everyone has already met, the oldest past partners become eligible again.
Yes. With admin review, each round is generated as a draft: you see every group with its match score and the rules it meets, get a warning when two people were matched before, and can regenerate, shuffle or edit groups before anything is sent.
Yes. The group composer defines every seat, such as one mentor and one mentee, and a category overlap rule matches mentor skills with mentee goals. A mentor can take several mentees.
Groups can hold 2 to 10 people. You choose how incomplete groups are handled, and simulate the split for any number of participants: nobody is left alone.
Match mentors with mentees on the skills they want to build, and give every pair a plan to follow.
