Summary

In 2025, QR-based digital business cards are thriving despite the decline of physical ones, with Blinq, a startup founded in 2017 as a hobby project, emerging as a standout leader with over 2.5 million users across individuals and companies in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. The company secured $25 million in Series A funding, joined by investors like Touring Capital, Blackbird Ventures, and Square Peg Capital, while expanding its team to more than 67 employees globally. Unlike competitors such as Mobilo or Wix, Blinq emphasizes relationship-building, offering versatile engagement tools that set it apart as a trusted partner for market expansion beyond digital cards.
