Mybzz vs Luma: the event page or the people on it?

Luma (lu.ma) has become the default event tool of the tech and startup scene: elegant event pages, calendars you can subscribe to, invites, RSVPs and ticketing that just work. But Luma optimizes the event — not the networking. The guest list is a list, not an introduction. Mybzz starts where Luma stops: AI matching tells you which entrepreneurs are worth meeting, conversations start before or without any event, and Mybzz's own networking events cover the face-to-face layer. Different jobs — and for founders, a surprisingly powerful combination.

Luma is event infrastructure: create a beautiful event page in minutes, manage invites and RSVPs, sell tickets, run a calendar people can follow. The startup ecosystem adopted it en masse — demo days, founder dinners and community meetups across the world run on lu.ma pages.

What Luma doesn't do is networking itself. It can show you a guest list, but it won't tell you that three people in that room are looking for exactly what you offer — and after the event, the connection layer is up to you. As an attendee you're still walking into a room of strangers with a name badge and hope.

Mybzz owns that missing layer: AI matching by business goals, verified entrepreneur profiles, direct chat after a mutual match — plus built-in networking events where the matching tells you who to look for before you walk in.
