What is twine?

twine is a speed networking and breakout room platform built for virtual events and distributed teams. It matches attendees for timed video conversations, so people who rarely work together get a chance to meet. Hosts control the format, and the tool handles the rotation.

The site names remote and distributed teams, higher education and K-12, communities and virtual events as example customers. It says over 200 teams use it, and it reports an average NPS above 90 and an average setup time of one minute. The company is based in San Francisco.

How does twine work?

A host creates a twine by choosing a date, time and conversation length. The host then selects conversation starters from a library of questions or writes custom ones, and can record an introduction. After that, the host shares a link with attendees, who join with a click.

Once a session is scheduled, twine presents instructions, matches attendees for each conversation and shows the pre-selected questions. Matching modes include Speed Networking, Visual, A/B and Multi-Tag. A networking room holds up to five guests at once, and hosted events support up to 10k concurrent guests.

Key features of twine

The core feature is timed, structured conversation. Organizers decide how long each conversation lasts and what people discuss, without being in the room. Hosts can upload their own topics, use the curated question library, or start from templates for all-hands meetings, sales kickoffs and onboarding.

Studio adds reporting for employers, including NPS and a view of who connected with whom, plus one-click duplication of earlier rooms. Larger deployments get extra options: the Business plan adds SSO, a Slack app and security questionnaires, while the Events plan adds embed code, parameterized URLs and custom branding.
