We registered Lets Connect in 2024. Two years later we are one of three finalists for Rising Star in Workplace Technology at the UC Awards 2026, the awards run by UC Today for the platforms, products and people shaping how work gets done.
It is not the only recognition this year. In our home region, Lets Connect Card has been shortlisted in the Company Awards at the West Midlands Growth Awards, and our founder, Arun Babu Veeranki, has been shortlisted for Emerging Growth Leader.
We are a small team in Wolverhampton. We did not get here with a big launch or a big budget. So it is fair to ask: why us? This is our honest answer.
We fixed the real problem with business cards
Most people think the problem with paper cards is the paper. It is not. The problem is what happens next.
You meet someone at an event. You swap cards. The card goes into a pocket, then a drawer, then the bin. The conversation that felt so promising goes with it. Nobody follows up, because a pile of paper has no reminder attached.
Making a card digital does not fix that on its own. A QR code that opens a web page is still just a nicer piece of paper.
So we built the part that comes after the handshake:
- One tap, no app. Tap the card on any modern iPhone or Android, scan the QR, or share from your phone wallet. Your details land in their phone, not their pocket.
- A profile that stays current. Change your role, number or links whenever you like. Every card you have ever handed out shows the new details. Nothing to reprint.
- A built-in CRM. Every person you meet is saved with notes, ready to follow up. You can scan the paper cards other people give you into the same list.
- Bookings, enquiries and reviews on the card. People can book a call or send an enquiry while you are still standing in front of them.
- Ask This Business. An AI assistant on your profile answers questions about your services when you cannot.
That is the difference between a card people admire and a tool people use.
We charge once
Most digital business card products are subscriptions. A few pounds a month sounds small until you multiply it by three years and by every person on your team.
A Lets Connect card is a one-off purchase, from $30. The profile it opens and every edit you make to it are included. There is a free plan for people who only want a digital profile and a QR code. We think that is how a business card should be priced, and our customers seem to agree.
The numbers so far
- 500+ customers
- 1,000+ cards and products sold
- Customers in 5+ countries
- 5.0 on Google and on Trustpilot
- Launch coverage picked up by 417 news outlets
These are small numbers next to the giants of workplace technology. They are also what a two-year-old company from the West Midlands built one tap at a time, mostly through customers telling other people.
What the shortlist means to us
A "rising star" award is not for the biggest company in the room. It is for the one moving fastest in the right direction. We think the judges saw three things: a product that solves a problem every working person has had, a fair price, and customers who rate it five stars.
To every customer who tapped a card, left a review or told a friend: this shortlist is yours.
What comes next
Being shortlisted is a start. We want to earn more recognition like this, and the way to do that is simple: keep making the moment after "nice to meet you" work better than it ever did on paper.
If you have not tried it yet, you can create a free digital profile in a couple of minutes, or see the cards.
