The company, Link AKC, is a pet tech company at the crossroads of fashion, science, dogs and wearables. The company is also backed by the American Kennel Club.

As a fan of wearable tech, I thought it was my duty to find out more about this tech for pets. What does it do? What's its purpose? Who or what is it aimed at? So I invited Herberto Calves onto the show to find out more.

Zenvoy Business Matchmaker aims to Bring the Right Connections to your Inbox thanks to a Networking algorithm aimed to put the spark back into business relationships.

The best way of describing Zenvoy is it works like a dating site but rather than matching you with love interests, if ensures connections are a good fit for business interests.

Users complete a profile and a proprietary algorithm takes charge to cultivate valuable one-on-one connections that are a good fit for business interests. The platform focuses on associations, conferences, and professionals.

“Research shows that one-on-one networking is more beneficial than ‘working a room’ at an event,” said Bill Webster, Co-Founder and COO of Zenvoy. “If you live and die by referral-based business, Zenvoy can supercharge your networking value by bringing targeted business introductions right to your email inbox.”
