Every business card you have ever handed out is in one of three places: a drawer, a bin, or a washing machine. That is a strange fate for the one object whose whole job is to be kept.
The digital alternatives mostly swapped one problem for another. The card became an app the other person had to install, or a subscription that quietly switched your page off the month you stopped paying. The moment of meeting someone, the most valuable thirty seconds in business, got handed to a pop-up asking for permissions.
We wanted something simpler and more permanent. A card you are proud to put on the table. A page that opens on any phone with nothing to install. A one-off price, because your identity should not be on a payment plan.
What Card1 actually is
- An engraved metal card with NFC inside. Tap it on any modern phone and your page opens: photo, buttons, links, work, reviews.
- A page that earns its keep. One tap saves you into their contacts. A "let's connect" sheet invites their details back, so every handshake becomes a lead, not a memory.
- A vault. Your brochures and certificates on the card's public shelf, with expiry badges. Your private documents locked away, shared only by links that expire.
- A scanner. When someone hands you paper, photograph it. The AI reads the name, number and email straight into your contacts.
The bit we are most stubborn about
Your card keeps working whether or not you ever pay us again. The metal card is £99, once, with a year of Pro included. Pro adds power tools for the people who want them: bookings on your page, selling from your card, unlimited vault. The card itself is yours, forever, no meter running.
That is the whole idea. The rest is engraving.
