We build the card that works both ways

Wiverr is a digital business card platform built in Tanzania for professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses across Africa. One tap, one link, one scan — and both people walk away with the contact.

Our Story

Why Wiverr exists

Wiverr started with a problem we kept running into ourselves. At events in Dar es Salaam, at meetings in Nairobi, at conferences in Kigali — we'd exchange paper business cards, and half of them ended up in a drawer.

The tools that existed didn't fit how people here actually network. They assumed everyone had a LinkedIn profile and a fast data connection. They didn't account for WhatsApp-first communication or the reality that most meaningful introductions happen face to face.

So we built Wiverr. A digital business card that opens by link, QR code, or NFC tap — and works both ways. You share your details, and you collect theirs, in the same moment.

Four principles

The constraints every decision passes through.

Simple by default

If a feature needs an explanation to use, we haven't finished designing it.

Africa-first, not Africa-only

We design for how people network here — WhatsApp-first, cash-friendly, offline-tolerant.

Your network is yours

No ad pixels. No data brokers. Your cards and contacts exist for you, not as inventory.

Both ways or it doesn't count

A card that only goes one direction is a flyer. Wiverr works because both people leave with a connection.

For people who network

Anyone whose work starts with a handshake.

Professionals

Salespeople, consultants, lawyers, doctors — anyone who meets clients in the real world.

Small businesses

Cafés, salons, retail shops, clinics. A Wiverr card on the counter means every visitor can find you.

Freelancers & creatives

Designers, developers, photographers. One link carries your portfolio, rates, and booking calendar.

Teams & companies

Sales teams and firms that want consistent cards for every member — with leads in one dashboard.
