Never lose a lead to paper again
Contact Kickstart is a digital business card service that enables users to share their contact information through a QR code and a personalized web link. The service is designed to replace traditional paper business cards by allowing recipients to scan a QR code with their phone camera, which opens the sender's card as a web page. No app installation is required for the recipient. The platform also includes a reverse capture feature: a "Share yours" button on the card prompts the recipient to submit their own name, email, and phone number, which is then sent directly to the sender's contact list with a notification. A free plan is available with no credit card requirement, and paid tiers add features such as multiple cards, advanced analytics, and team management. The core workflow involves three steps: building a digital card with name, photo, links, and brand colors; sharing it via QR code or link; and automatically receiving the recipient's contact details. The card updates instantly and does not require printing. Additional tools include a paper card scanner that reads names, titles, phones, emails, addresses, and headshots from physical cards into the user's contacts. The platform also provides analytics on views, saves, and link clicks per card, broken down by day and device. Users can draft follow-up emails from notes, enrich contact records with company information, and summarize voice notes. Notifications are available via push alerts and webhooks for integration with automation platforms such as Make, Zapier, or a CRM. Typical use cases include sales teams capturing leads at events, real estate agents placing cards on yard signs and open house tables, recruiters collecting candidate details at job fairs, and new businesses establishing a professional presence without reprinting materials. Team features allow administrators to invite members, provision branded cards, lock colors and logos, and view shared contacts and team-wide analytics. The service operates entirely through a web interface, with no desktop software or mobile app required for the card owner or the recipient.
