About
Business Matchmaking (BMM) is the nation's premier public-private initiative supporting procurement opportunities for small business in every industry.
For the past four years, BMM has produced regional face-to-face selling events, plenary seminars and workshops, online training and collateral material for primarily minority, women, veteran and disabled veteran owned firms.
As a direct result of the alliance between leading corporations like HP, American Airlines, FedEx, Sprint, Actus Lend Lease, Lockheed and others with SCORE, the Veterans Corporation and the Latino Coalition, BMM has facilitated more than 60,000 seller-buyer meetings and more than 1 billion dollars in resultant contracts.
All events are free to both participating small businesses and representative buyers. They also include a highly successful schedule of networking and educational activities.
Business Matchmaking, Inc., the producer of BMM, is a 501c3 non-profit corporation.
