What Bizmakebiz does

BizMakeBiz (legally A.N. Businesses Do Business Ltd.) is an Israeli business networking platform founded in May 2008 by Moshe Charalopszki and headquartered in Petah Tiqva. The company operates a hybrid online/offline ecosystem targeting Israeli self-employed professionals, freelancers, and small/micro businesses (1-10 employees), connecting them through structured referral networks, in-person and Zoom networking groups, professional communities segmented by industry, webinars, and content publishing. As of the latest data, the platform reports 68,361+ registered members, 60+ networking groups across Israel, 83,619 networking meetings held, 13,930 live webinars conducted, and 571,467 cumulative client referrals generated.

The platform's core product is a web-based networking and marketing system supplemented by three integrated sub-brands: BizLive for webinar hosting (integrated with Zoom premium), BizFinder for SEO-optimized business directory and expert search, and a Credit Store marketplace where members earn and spend credits for referrals. Additional features include discussion forums, a tenders/marketplace for service requests, segmented business communities (B2B, legal, real estate, finance, marketing, health, etc.), training center, and one-on-one mentoring.

The business model centers on subscription-based membership with a four-tier post-trial structure (Online Community, Networking, Online Presentations, Combined) following a 300 ILS + VAT (~$85 USD) 3-month introductory program. Additional revenue comes from a 125 ILS one-time fee per networking group and transaction-based commissions on credit marketplace redemptions. The company operates with 1-10 employees, has raised no external funding, and is wholly founder-owned, operating as a self-sustaining micro-business with no publicly disclosed revenue figures.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Meetup: Community and event-discovery platform that connects professionals and interest groups around in-person and virtual gatherings. Comparable to BizMakeBiz in driving community-led, event-based engagement among SMBs and freelancers, though without referral-credit monetization.
• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Largest business association in the United States, providing member services, networking, events, content publishing, and advocacy for SMBs. Overlaps with BizMakeBiz's role as a business association facilitating peer connections, professional development, and B2B exposure for members.
• LinkedIn: Dominant global professional networking platform with groups, events, newsletters, and content publishing features that increasingly overlap with BizMakeBiz's feature set. Operates at vastly larger scale with broader geographic coverage but lacks the closed-loop, in-person referral chapter model.

Direct peers

• LeTip International: Long-standing chapter-based business networking organization built around weekly referral meetings among non-competing professionals. Mirrors BizMakeBiz's in-person networking group structure and referral-economy mechanics in a comparable SMB target market.
• Alignable: North America's largest small business member network, providing SMBs with a referral and connection platform analogous to BizMakeBiz. Both serve freelancer and small-business segments with community-led growth and member-to-member business referrals.
• BNI (Business Network International): World's largest business referral networking organization with structured chapter-based groups that operate on referral-economy mechanics similar to BizMakeBiz's 60+ networking groups. Both platforms monetize through membership fees and rely on member-driven referral activity as the core value proposition.

Others

• Constant Contact: Email marketing and newsletter platform serving SMBs with audience communication tools. Comparable to BizMakeBiz's monthly newsletter distribution capability reaching 100,000+ subscribers, though Constant Contact operates as a horizontal tool rather than a vertical networking community.
• GoToWebinar (LogMeIn / GoTo): Webinar hosting infrastructure used by SMBs and creators for live presentations, comparable to BizMakeBiz's BizLive sub-platform. Operates as a horizontal webinar SaaS vendor rather than a community-driven networking platform.
• Slack (Salesforce): Workplace messaging and community platform supporting organized group discussions and topic-based channels. Adjacent to BizMakeBiz's community forums and discussion features, though primarily used as workplace infrastructure rather than SMB referral networking.

Regional players

• Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce: National-level business association umbrella for Israeli chambers of commerce, providing networking events, member services, and B2B connection programs to local SMBs. Comparable as a regional business-network institution, though with broader mandate and historical establishment.
