Digital Business Cards for Startups.
Free for Founders. Built for the Startup Family.

Empower founders, builders and startup teams with free digital business cards designed to strengthen connections, grow networks, and support the global startup family.

Why Startups Are Choosing Digital Business Cards

Eco-friendly, easy to share, and built for modern networking - digital cards help founders connect faster, grow their network, and represent their startup anywhere.

In the startup world, connections are everything. From investor meetings to conferences and spontaneous introductions, founders need a simple way to share who they are and what they’re building.

Digital business cards give startups a smarter, more flexible way to stay connected.

Whether you're a solo founder, an indie builder, or part of a growing startup team - sharing your contact details, promoting your project, and staying memorable has never been easier.

Forget printing new cards after every pivot, running out of cards at events, or losing valuable connections. With KARTEE, founders get:

  • A personalized, mobile-friendly card
  • Instant sharing with a scan
  • A professional identity for meetings and networking
  • Zero printing costs and zero paper waste

It’s not just about going digital.

It’s about making founders easier to find, startups easier to discover, and connections easier to turn into opportunities.

Year of Family 2026

Supporting the Global Startup Family

2026 has been officially declared the Year of Family in the UAE - a nationwide initiative dedicated to strengthening family bonds, shared values, and a thriving future for the next generation.

Rooted in the UAE’s core principles of unity, resilience, and opportunity, this national vision encourages individuals, families, and organizations to build stronger relationships, support one another, and create lasting impact across society.

At KARTEE, we believe the global startup ecosystem is also a family - founders, builders, innovators, and teams who support each other while building the future.

That’s why we launched KARTEE Startup Edition, offering free digital business cards to founders, indie builders, and startup teams around the world.

Because great startups grow through connections - and every founder deserves the tools to share their vision, expand their network, and become part of a stronger global startup family.
