How Was BornTapNett
One frustrated founder. One napkin sketch. A mission to change how millions connect.
"I'll never forget that moment..."
Spring 2023. A tech conference in San Francisco. I watched a founder fumble their stack of business cards. They scattered across the floor—50+ cards, hours of networking, gone in seconds.
I'd spent 6 years at Google shipping products to billions of people. We have incredible technology in our pockets. Yet we're still using paper rectangles to exchange information?
That night, I sketched TapNett on a napkin. The vision was simple: Make networking as easy as a tap. No apps. No QR codes. Just tap and connect.
Today, 10,000+ professionals use TapNett. We've facilitated 1 million connections and saved 20 million paper cards from landfills.
Every connection matters. Every relationship is an opportunity. We're building TapNett to help you make the most of both.
