Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
After LinkedIn acquired and eventually shut down CardMunch, the founders believed there was still potential in reimagining traditional business cards. Founded in 2018, HiHello offers a digital business card platform that truly focuses on the end-user experience.
Many app developers have attempted success with virtual business cards to little avail. HiHello stands out as it doesn't require both the business card holder and the recipient to have its app. Instead, it provides a QR code, from which the recipient is able to quickly and efficiently save the contact information provided into their phone.
HiHello has users in over 150 countries and has seen millions of digital business cards made via its app. The company has recently discovered high demand for enterprise digital business cards and so will use its most recent funding, led by Foundry Group, to expand the business platform to support companies of all sizes.
