How The Sessions Work
A serious topic does not need to become a passive room.
Most sessions combine structure with participation: enough context to be useful, enough friction to stay alive.
02
Audience voting / fast questions
Quick polls, provocations, and reactions that show what people actually think before the discussion begins.
03
Texts, cases or film fragments
Source material, examples, media, and real dilemmas that make abstract topics visible and human.
04
Open discussion / reflection
The room gets space to argue, laugh, disagree, connect the topic to life, and leave with better questions.
Featured Lecture
Swipe Is Dead. But I Am Not.
Experiments in LoveTech Business Models — and What Fundraising Has in Common.
This is not a dating talk. It is a talk about matching systems, incentives, funnels, human behavior, and marketplace design.

Human Systems, LoveTech & Matching Markets
What dating apps, startup fundraising, investor matching, marketplaces and human decision-making have in common.
Speaker frame
Alex P. Lindholm is Founder & Managing Partner of InspireXchange.nl Accelerator. By day he works with startups on product validation, fundraising, startup visas, investor-founder matching, PMF and human-centric innovation. By night he studies dating apps as matching systems and behavioral marketplaces.
Fun fact
In 2025 Alex consistently kept between 6 and 12 dating apps active simultaneously as part of his ongoing research into matching systems and platform behavior.
Why do dating apps feel exhausting, and why does startup fundraising often feel the same? Is more choice helping people connect, or quietly killing commitment? Through real-world experiments, audience interaction, and examples from LoveTech platforms, the session asks whether we are building systems that help people connect, or systems that profit from keeping them searching.
