🔥 Blinq Just Scored $25M to BURY Business Cards for Good
THE BUSINESS CARD APOCALYPSE IS HERE
Let’s be real – in 2025, business cards are DEAD WEIGHT. You collect them at conferences like Pokémon cards, only to trash them days later. Meanwhile, your smartphone holds your entire professional universe. That’s why Blinq’s digital business card revolution just got turbocharged with $25M in fresh funding.
“We’re not just killing business cards – we’re reinventing how relationships begin in the digital age.”
Jerrod Webb, Blinq CEO
FROM HOBBY PROJECT TO INDUSTRY DISRUPTOR
What started as a side hustle in 2017 has exploded into:
- 2.5 million users trading paper for pixels
- 500,000 companies across 4 countries onboard
- 67 employees spanning three continents
THE PERFECT STORM FOR DIGITAL DOMINATION
Blinq’s timing couldn’t have been better. When COVID hit, QR codes went mainstream overnight. Suddenly, every handshake became a potential health risk – and Blinq’s solution became essential.
HOW BLINQ CRUSHES THE COMPETITION
While competitors like Popl and Wix play checkers, Blinq is playing 4D chess:
- Dynamic profiles that adapt to any situation
- Seamless CRM integration with HubSpot/Salesforce
- Multiple contact methods (QR, NFC, short links)
- Built-in virality that slashes acquisition costs
“Every Blinq exchange introduces our platform to someone new. It’s not just a business card – it’s the beginning of a relationship.”
Jerrod Webb
THE FUTURE IS DIGITAL FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Blinq isn’t stopping at replacing paper. They’re building the ultimate relationship launchpad:
- Expanding into new global markets
- Deepening enterprise integrations
- Pioneering smarter ways to stay top-of-mind
BOTTOM LINE: The $25M Series A led by Touring Capital proves one thing – the future of professional networking isn’t in your wallet. It’s in your smartphone. And Blinq just got the fuel to own that future.
