Meet once. Stay reachable for good.

What actually happens to the cards you collect

You come back from two days at a conference with a stack of cards in the front pocket of a bag. Some of them you remember. Most of them you do not, and there is no note on any of them to say why you took it.

By the time the following week has happened, the honest number of those you follow up is small, and it has almost nothing to do with how good the conversations were. The effort of remembering who somebody was, typing their details in and writing the first message is what kills it. Everybody knows this and everybody keeps handing out cards.

The same thing happens in reverse to the cards you give out. You are relying on a stranger to keep a small piece of card, remember why they have it and type your number in later. Most will not, and it will not be because they were not interested.

The follow-up that builds itself

The point of a tap is not that it is faster than handing something over. It is that it goes both ways. They tap or scan, your profile opens in their browser, and there is a button on it that sends their name, number and email back to you.

That takes them about five seconds on the phone already in their hand, and it means the follow-up list is being written while you are still in the room. Each one records which card and which profile produced it and lands in your dashboard within seconds, so on the train home you have a list of people you actually met rather than a stack of cardboard.

No app on either side, and no account for them. More on how contact-back works →

The job you had two years ago

Networking cards go stale faster than any other kind, because the people who hand out the most of them are the people most likely to change roles. Every card you gave out before a job change is now pointing at an email address that bounces.

A card that points at a live profile does not have that problem. Change the role, the company or the number once and every card you have ever handed over points at the new one from that moment. Somebody you met at an event in 2024 still reaches you in 2027, which is the whole reason for going to the event.

Not everyone you meet gets the same card

A stranger at a conference and somebody you have worked with for five years do not need the same information. You can run more than one profile, each with its own card, QR and link, and hand out the one that fits: the public one at an event, a fuller one for people you actually want to hear from.

The free kit that comes with it, which nobody expects

A profile also generates a set of assets you would otherwise be making by hand. Two are unusually useful at an event. The first is a name badge sized to A7 at 300 dpi, with your code on it, so the thing doing the introduction is also the thing people can scan. The second is a story-sized graphic for Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp — for the “good to meet everyone today” post that otherwise goes out with no way to act on it.

There is also an email signature and a video-call background, because the follow-up conversation usually happens in one of those two places. See the whole Toolkit →

What it costs

The profile, the QR and the lead capture are free, permanently, with no card details taken. You can be using it at an event tomorrow with nothing arriving in the post. A physical card is a one-off if you want something to hand over, and nothing renews. Full pricing →
