The company behind Validation Before Distribution™
MeetingWorks is an applied AI B2B SaaS company in Los Angeles. It confirms whether a hotel, venue or restaurant has the space, is open on the dates and will work at the rate before a meeting or event request for proposal is ever sent. That is the whole idea, and it is one group hospitality has never had.
Why it exists
Every group booking begins with the same three questions, and today nobody can answer them until after the RFP goes out. Planners send requests to properties that were never a fit. Sales teams answer hundreds of leads they could never have won. Everyone waits days for replies that come back partial, and the asking starts again.
MeetingWorks moves the answer to the front. A planner describes the meeting, and every property comes back validated on space, dates and rate before anyone writes a proposal. Only what fits goes out. We call the principle Validation Before Distribution™.
Who it is for
Hotels, venues and restaurants. The group leads that reach you have already been checked against your own space, dates and rate, so your sales team spends its time on business it can win.
Meeting and event planners. Instead of days of waiting and partial answers, the properties that can hold your program come back in seconds, every one of them confirmed.
Founders
Jacob has spent 25 years inside this exact workflow. He entered the industry in 2001, and MeetingWorks is his third company in the category. In the mid-2000s he architected the pre-contract sourcing engine that the category's largest platform acquired in 2015 and still runs today. He then founded and ran a national roadshow for sixteen years, producing more than 2,000 events in 56 cities and building direct relationships with 14,000 meeting planners and more than 1,200 hotels, venues and restaurants. He carried the design for MeetingWorks from 2016 until it could finally be built.
Blaine has spent more than 20 years building enterprise data platforms, including regulated environments where one party's data is proprietary and cannot be exposed. Answering a question about protected data without revealing the data is exactly what MeetingWorks does, and his background is why it works.
Launch
MeetingWorks launches in November 2026 across North America. In each regional market, both sides of the business, the meeting and event planners who buy group space and the hotels, venues and restaurants who sell it, are introduced to MeetingWorks through MeetingTraveler, a live event series that brings them together in person to meet one another and see the platform first-hand.
