Linq builds a networking platform that harnesses QR codes and near field communication (NFC) to enable users to share information via customizable pages. Its current product suite includes electronic business cards, hubs, taps, and wearables such as bracelets and Apple Watch bands. The company is led by CEO Elliott Potter, COO Jared Mattsson and CTO Patrick Sullivan. Linq intends to use new funding to grow the team and add new products to its portfolio. The article identifies the company as based in Birmingham, Ala. No operating metrics were disclosed in the coverage. Founded in 2019 by Elliott Potter, Jared Mattsson and Patrick Sullivan, Linq offers dynamically updating digital contact cards that do not require recipients to sign up, download an app, or visit a website to receive them. Linq cards automatically update for everyone a card was shared with when a user’s title, contact information or employer changes. The product integrates with major CRM systems so contact information can be directly added to CRM databases and incorporated into business processes and workflows. Linq positions itself as a disruption to traditional networking platforms and electronic business-card apps, aiming to reduce manual data entry and improve contact curation. The company emphasizes solving inefficiencies of paper cards and fragmented contact workflows for professionals who need to gather, categorize and utilize contact information. Linq has partnered with Alabama Futures Fund to support its growth and development.
