## Projects

### Boop (https://boop.me)
A conference networking tool for booking follow-up meetings and connecting at events. Every existing tool is web-based, clunky, and forgotten the moment someone walks away. Boop works differently: scan a QR code, send a text, book a meeting before you leave the event. Built for conference and event sponsors. Status: Live.

### MATCH HOUSE (https://matchhouse.events)
A curated founder-investor event series co-produced by Horacio Rilo. Debuted during SXSW 2026 with 500+ vetted attendees, $5B+ in capital in the room, and Bill Gurley as a featured speaker. Expanding to Boston, NYC, and SF.

## Credentials

- 3× SXSW Meetup Host
- Austin Tech Week Speaker
- Co-producer of MATCH HOUSE (SXSW 2026)
- Founder & CEO of Boop

## About

Horacio Rilo spends most of his time at conferences and founder dinners. He believes the best introductions still happen in person, and builds both the tools and the rooms to make that happen.
