Overview

Founded in 2017 in Melbourne, Blinq offers an app that lets users create and share digital business cards through QR codes, NFC, email signatures, short links and video-call backgrounds. The service integrates with CRMs such as HubSpot and Salesforce, automatically capturing contact details and syncing them for follow-up. Blinq has amassed more than 2.5 million users across 500,000 companies, with 80% of its customer base located in the United States. The company operates on a B2C2B model: individuals adopt the free app, driving viral growth, while organizations pay per seat as usage spreads internally, generating expansion revenue. Competition includes Mobilo, Popl, Wave, Wix and traditional networking tools like LinkedIn. The team has grown from five employees to 67 distributed across Sydney, Melbourne, New York and San Francisco. Future plans include deeper enterprise penetration, entry into new geographic markets and additional features that help users nurture professional relationships after the first contact.
