Built by Africans, for African Entrepreneurs
We understand the unique challenges of building business presence in Africa. That's why we built this.
Our Story
I was at a networking event in Nairobi. Great conversations, amazing connections, handed out 30 paper business cards. I was excited about all the potential partnerships and clients.
Two weeks later, I followed up with everyone. Only three people responded. Out of thirty.
When I asked one of them why so few people replied, she laughed and said, "I lose those cards within days. But if you had sent me your WhatsApp link, I would have saved it immediately."
That's when it hit me.
We're not in a paper world anymore. We're in a mobile world. And if your business card doesn't work on mobile, it doesn't work at all. African entrepreneurs deserve tools that match how we actually do business.
So I created Handshake.africa - digital business cards built for how Africans actually use their phones. One scan, and your entire professional profile is on their device. Forever.
No more lost cards. No more missed connections. Just results.
