No, Playlist MatchMaker is not owned by or connected with Spotify in anyway. Playlist MatchMaker is owned and operated by TMJ Software.
There are a few sites somewhat similar to Playlist MatchMaker that connect Artists with Curators. They do this by playing the role of a middle man. We think there is a better way, which is to put the artist directly in contact with the playlist owner or curator - and that is one important distinction which sets us apart.
In addition, PlaylistMM has two developed two extremely useful and valuable search tools that are free for anyone to use. One allows artists do perform keyword searches, by genre, to locate playlists. The other allows playlist owners to do searches by artist, tracks, or albums, to find new releases, popular tracks, identify the most popular artists, and much more. No other site has anything like these two tools. The are extremely useful and whether a playlist owner or curator, will keep you a step ahead of the competition.
