What is Blinq?
At Blinq, we believe the first interaction can spark opportunities that last a lifetime. That’s why we built the world’s #1 digital business card - an instant, intuitive way to exchange details - and that success has won our wedge into something bigger. Next, we’re building on that momentum to reshape how professionals stay connected – not just in the moment, but long after. In a world where follow-ups slip through the cracks and relationships are increasingly fragmented, we’re building the tools to keep people genuinely connected. If you’re driven to shape the future of human connection, we’d love to have you with us.
