How it works

How to share contact information with a QR code.

There are only three real steps. That is part of the appeal.

Create your contact card

Add your name, title, company, and contact details.

Open your QR code

Display your card from Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so the QR code is easy for someone else to scan.

Let them scan and save

The other person scans the QR code with their phone and saves your contact information directly.

Why use a QR code

Because it is faster than typing and cleaner than paper.

Most contact-sharing friction comes from little things: a mistyped email address, a missed number, a card that gets lost, or a promise to follow up later that never happens.

A QR code removes most of that friction by making the next step obvious. Scan the code. Save the contact. Continue the conversation.

  • No need to spell out your email address
  • No paper card to carry or reorder
  • No awkward manual data entry

Why FounderBizCard

FounderBizCard makes QR contact sharing wallet-native.

There are many ways to generate a QR code. The problem is not making a code. The problem is making the sharing experience feel natural in the real world.

Generic QR code tools

  • Create a code, but not a full sharing experience
  • Often disconnected from how people actually use it
  • May depend on separate hosting or extra steps
  • Do not always feel polished in real use
  • Can solve the technical part, not the practical part

The real value is not that a QR code exists. It is that the contact-sharing experience finally feels easy.
