I guess it was bound to happen, I now seem to be writing a series of posts around Matching. This is where I’ll keep my list of these posts, related articles and posts from other sources: Social Media Matching – Looks at how in many ways, everything is matching. I think of LinkedIn as a A 24x7 networking cocktail party with 60M+ people – the challenge in that environment is how you get matched to other people. Social Filtering – Content matching based on social signals.

Fred Wilson , Joanne Wilson , Amy , and I are doing our second Monthly Match. We will be matching $20,000 of contributions that our respective communities make to NILC. Since we are matching 1:1, each dollar you contribute gets NILC another dollar. If this is important to you, please join in on our Monthly Match and make a contribution to NILC. That will register it for our match. This one is in support of the National Immigration Law Center.

Because I was the Acting CTO for eHarmony at it's start, I quite often get introduced to people who have an idea for a startup company that is based on some kind of matching algorithm. Each of these startup ideas has at it's core a matching algorithm that reduces the friction between a consumer and some need. In the case of college matching, it's the complexity of what college matches best with the person's needs.

One of the common questions that I commonly get is: Tony, what inputs should we use as the basis for our matching algorithm? The people asking the above question don’t have that research and they also don’t really know how the matches should occur. fit into a matching algorithm.

HP will match every dollar we donate in this campaign. I got some great news about the Donors Choose Campaign we are running this month here at AVC. They did that last year as well so this is two years in a row that we've been able to leverage HP's generosity for the benefit of teachers and students. It's a good opportunity to remind everyone that we are focusing this year's Donors Choose campaign on math and science education for young women.

Everything is Matching The real promise comes about as we get better tools for navigating all of this. If you know me - which you might not because you only have a thin relationship :) – you know that I’m going to say that a lot of this comes back to Matching Algorithms. There are many, very interesting and very complex matching problems that need to get solved. Some days I start to feel that everything is matching. Well it’s also knowing what kind of match you need.

I’ve had several recent conversations with startups who are building companies based on matching. One of the things that I think gets commonly missed by these companies when I first talk to them is that they need more than providing matching, they need performance support. Match Performance Support When I get asked about eHarmony, a lot of people miss that there’s some very interesting performance support going on after the match.

Over the past few months I’ve watched several powerful and successful VCs and entrepreneurs damage their reputations by having their words not match up with their actions. It’s similar to what Amy and I wrote about in Startup Life: Surviving and Thriving in a Relationship with an Entrepreneur when we talk about your words having to match your actions. And having them match your actions matters matters even more.

When entrepreneurs think about approaching VC’s to cultivate a relationship for a round, they often try to match their company with what the VC has funded in the past. So, I think it’s sometimes tough to pattern-match based on sectors. But I do think it’s pretty successful to pattern-match based on founders. So if you’re doing you are thinking about how to best approach investors, don’t automatically just pattern-match based on sectors.

Almost exactly a year ago I wrote a post Your Words Should Match Your Actions. In my book Startup Life (that I wrote with my wife Amy) I said that one of the key things that has made our relationship work is that I realized “my words had to match my actions.” My biggest behavior change 14 years ago was to focus hard on having my words match my actions, and my actions match my words. But then their words and their actions don’t match up.
