The UK's first profitable, app-free NFC + CRM platform — built in Britain, scaling worldwide.
- 5.5M UK SMEs · 30M professionals
- 80%+ NFC-ready smartphones
- Zero UK-native NFC + native CRM player
- £1.25M = 15% · before London · Manchester · Birmingham · Leeds
The whole UK business in 5 lines.
For the investor who has 90 seconds.
The UK’s first Professional Brand Presence Platform — premium NFC smart cards + brand pages + native Sales CRM, 100% built in-house.
UK professionals waste 88% of paper cards and pay £5K+/yr for fragmented CRMs. We replace it all with one tap — at £49 a card.
£315M UK NFC market by 2032 (11.5% CAGR). 80%+ NFC phones. Premium pricing power. No serious UK-native NFC + CRM player.
£49 ASP · £37 gross profit per card · 75%+ card margin. Year 1 target £5.10M revenue / £3.12M net profit on 100K cards across 4 main UK cities.
Raising £1.25M for Year 1 UK operations — Team & Office £636K · Franchise & Outreach £280K · Marketing £200K · Events £74K · Machines £60K.
The UK relationship layer is broken — and overpriced.
80%+ NFC phones, 5.5M SMEs, 30M professionals — and not a single UK-native NFC + CRM platform owns the gap.
UK paper cards binned within 7 days — every lost card is a lost lead and a lost £200+ deal.
tools a UK professional juggles — LinkedIn, website, Calendly, HubSpot, portfolio. Nothing unified.
Salesforce / HubSpot pricing — out of reach for the UK’s 5.5M SMEs and 30M working professionals.
serious UK-native NFC + CRM player. US/AU competitors ship from overseas and price in USD.
The UK has 80%+ NFC-enabled phones, 5.5M SMEs and one of the highest networking densities in the world — yet the relationship layer is still paper, spreadsheets and overseas SaaS. Blinq ships from Melbourne, HiHello and Popl bill in USD, none offer a native Sales CRM. Lets Connect is the only UK-assembled stack combining premium NFC hardware (£49), brand pages and a native pipeline — at a price the UK SME market can actually afford.
One tap. Four products. One platform.
NFC + brand pages + native CRM + analytics — bundled in a stack no UK competitor matches.
One Tap Sharing
Premium NFC cards tap any phone. Share profile, contact, portfolio, booking. No app for recipients.
Brand Pages
Customisable web profiles — bio, services, gallery, blog, testimonials. Update from one dashboard.
QR Fallback
For older phones and printed media. Same powerful profile, accessible via camera scan.
Native Sales CRM
Built-in Kanban pipeline, deal tracking, tasks. £499 lifetime — vs £5K+/yr for Salesforce.
- Only platform bundling NFC + Brand Pages + native CRM in one UK-assembled stack.
- 100% proprietary technology — every line built in-house. Zero third-party dependency.
- UK pricing built for the SME — £49/card premium hardware, no per-seat SaaS tax, lifetime CRM unlock at £499.
- Local assembly across 4 main UK cities — 48-hour delivery, no customs, lower COGS.
- Franchise & affiliate tools built natively — Blinq, HiHello, Popl and Linq have neither.
The category is being validated. The UK has no leader yet.
Global NFC + digital business-card players have raised $68M+ combined — none are UK-native, none ship a native Sales CRM, none assemble locally. That is our opening.
Sources: CB Insights, TechCrunch, Newswire, parsers.vc. Figures verified via published funding announcements. No estimates.
Top-tier VCs have validated this category with $68M+ in disclosed funding to overseas players. Every one of them prices in USD, ships from outside the UK, and has no native Sales CRM. Lets Connect is the only contender combining premium NFC, brand pages and a native pipeline — UK-assembled, UK-priced — and we are entering at a fraction of the valuations these competitors raised at.

A founder-led operator team scaling NFC across the United Kingdom.
Investors back people first. A hands-on founder who built the entire platform, guided by two 30-year core mentors - already shipping, already profitable, already scaling.
The operator core - building product, running operations and owning the engineering stack end-to-end.
Leads product, technology and strategy. 10+ years in digital marketing and web development; designed and built the LetsConnect platform end to end and is the named inventor on the UK patent application.
Leads sales, partnerships, marketplace channels (eBay, Amazon, TikTok Shop) and customer experience.
Leads fulfilment, supply chain, quality control and regulatory/compliance, ensuring every card ships on time and to spec.
Backed by 60+ years of business-building wisdom.
Two veteran operators advise the company on scaling, product strategy and multi-market execution — bringing decades of pattern-recognition that money alone cannot buy.
Three decades of building, scaling and exiting businesses. Advises on go-to-market, organisational design and global expansion strategy.
30+ years across product, operations and corporate governance. Mentors on unit economics, supply chain and multi-market execution.
Why this team wins: a founder who already scaled a UK consumer brand to £5M+, a COO running dual-country ops, an 8-year CTO owning the stack, dedicated AI & ecommerce leads, and two 30-year mentors guiding strategy — all operating at an India cost base with UK/US/UAE pricing. That is the moat.
£37 profit per card. 75%+ margin. £25.5M by Year 3.
Premium UK pricing. Clean unit economics on both hardware and software. Profitable from Year 1.
10K Year-1 digital add-ons at £20 each = £200K pure-margin layer on top of hardware — scaling to £500K (Y2) and £1M (Y3).
