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.

• Well-resourced: Backed by top VCs like Blackbird and Square Peg, we’re continuously investing in the people and tools that fuel our mission.
• A rare moment to join: We’re hitting an inflection point - big enough to have momentum, small enough for you to shape the journey.
• The way we work: We value real connections, inside and out - our offices buzz with creativity, and fresh ideas can come from anywhere. We’re big believers in the spark that happens when people come together in person. That’s why we spend three days a week collaborating in the office - trading ideas, solving problems face-to-face, and celebrating small wins. The rest of the week is yours to work wherever you’re most productive.
