Numerous companies have now committed to digitizing business cards. In the DACH region alone, Lemontaps, Mytaag, Wazzl, and OneVcard, among others, consider themselves market leaders \u2013 as does Spreadly from Munich. Darius G\u00f6ttert<\/strong>, co-founder of the startup founded in 2022, explains in an interview with Munich Startup<\/a> the advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"This solves several problems: On the one hand, the classic problem that almost 90 percent of paper business cards are thrown away before they're even saved in the contact information. Then there's the challenge of how to get contacts into your CRM after a trade fair, for example. We solve this through connecting, i.e., by scanning the other person's Apple or Google Wallet, for example, and thus having all contact information directly in their phone. This includes phone number and email address, but also social media accounts like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram. You also get the office location, for example, and even the option to book an appointment. So you have significantly more information about your counterpart than if you just exchanged phone numbers."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Spreadly takes over 100 percent of Clinck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now Spreadly is taking over one of its competitors: Clinck<\/a> Amsterdam-based Spreadly has been on the market since 2013 and is one of the first solutions for digital business cards. Since then, the company claims to have reached over 80,000 users. Following the acquisition, Spreadly will discontinue Clinck as a brand and will take over the app and users directly. The purchase was financed from its own resources, and the price was kept confidential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, one year after its founding, Spreadly has 40,000 users in over 100 countries and is already profitable. The startup plans to close a financing round as its next step.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
