Meeula, a Nigerian startup, has launched a smart business card solution

Meeula, a Nigerian startup, has launched a smart lead-generating business card to assist corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners in more effectively networking.

Meeula, which was founded in May 2021, allows users to exchange contacts at events, conferences, meetings, or meetups with a single tap.

“Instead of ordering paper cards over and over again, professionals simply use a single smart business card with unlimited benefits.” For starters, it saves professionals money by allowing them to update their business contact information at any time without having to reorder. The startup’s CEO, Emmanuel Uduebholo, added, “It also allows professionals to easily build an email list from contacts received.”

Uduebholo funded Meeula with revenue from his other startup, Mentorships.ng, which he founded in 2019.

“It was during the marketing Mentorships.” ng one-on-one with professionals that I noticed how weak the paper business card was, because I only get to give them cards expecting a response, which I didn’t always get, perhaps because they forgot or found it stressful to type in contacts and follow-up,” he explained.

“As a result, when I was looking for a better option, I discovered the smart business card to be very effective.” Not only that, but I saw a gap, a need, and an opportunity in the Nigerian market and decided to make it available to everyone.”

According to him, the initial response has been extremely positive.

“So far, we’ve had incredible and growing responses and interest from the market we’re currently serving.” “We will be fully operational to serve corporate teams this year,” Uduebholo said.

“Right now, we’re marketing to existing business card owners, creatives, entrepreneurs, and corporate entities.” Our product also enables businesses to create corporate accounts for their entire business team to help them achieve their business marketing objectives.”
