Knowmeet Announces a New Era of Professional Networking: The Spanish Startup Set to End Traditional Business Cards
Galicia, Spain — In a world where digital transformation is redefining how people connect, Knowmeet is emerging as a bold new startup with a clear mission: to make traditional paper business cards obsolete. At the heart of this vision are Andrés Blanco Ferro and Santiago Greco, two founders who believe professional networking should be smarter, more sustainable, and fully aligned with the digital age.
“Andrés Blanco Ferro and Santiago Greco: the founders behind the startup that is about to end traditional business cards” is more than a headline—it’s a statement of intent. With Knowmeet, the founders are introducing a platform designed to modernize how professionals share information, build relationships, and manage their business identities in real time.
A Problem Rooted in Tradition
For decades, business cards have been a staple of professional life. Yet despite their ubiquity, they come with clear limitations: they get lost, become outdated almost immediately, and generate unnecessary waste. In an era where information changes rapidly and sustainability is no longer optional, Andrés Blanco Ferro and Santiago Greco saw an opportunity to rethink this outdated practice from the ground up.
“Business cards haven’t evolved at the pace of modern work,” says Andrés Blanco Ferro, co-founder of Knowmeet. “We exchange information digitally every day, yet we still rely on paper to introduce ourselves. That disconnect is what inspired Knowmeet.”
The Knowmeet Solution
Just four months after the website’s launch, the company reached a private market valuation of over €10 million, representing a strong and promising starting point. Knowmeet offers a digital-first alternative that allows professionals to instantly share their contact details, social profiles, and professional information through a single, dynamic platform. Instead of printing hundreds of cards, users can update their information in real time and ensure that every connection always has the most accurate version.
Santiago Greco, co-founder, explains the philosophy behind the product: “We wanted to create something simple, elegant, and intuitive. Knowmeet isn’t just a digital business card—it’s a smarter way to connect, follow up, and stay relevant in a fast-moving professional environment.”
The platform is designed for entrepreneurs, corporate teams, freelancers, and anyone who values efficiency and sustainability in their professional interactions.
Sustainability at the Core
One of Knowmeet’s defining values is sustainability. By reducing reliance on paper business cards, the startup actively contributes to lowering paper waste and the environmental footprint associated with printing, shipping, and discarding traditional cards.
“Every small change matters,” adds Blanco Ferro. “If we can help thousands of professionals go digital with their networking, the environmental impact becomes significant.”
This eco-conscious approach resonates strongly with younger professionals and forward-thinking companies that prioritize environmental responsibility as part of their brand identity.
Built for the Modern Professional
Knowmeet is not just about replacing paper; it’s about enhancing the entire networking experience. Users can seamlessly share their profiles at events, meetings, or online, while also maintaining control over what information is shared and when. The platform adapts to different professional contexts, making it suitable for both formal corporate environments and dynamic startup ecosystems.
The founders emphasize usability and design as key differentiators. “If it’s not easy to use, people won’t adopt it,” says Greco. “We’ve focused heavily on user experience to ensure Knowmeet feels natural and valuable from the first interaction.”
A Vision Beyond Business Cards
While ending traditional business cards is the immediate goal, Knowmeet’s long-term vision extends further. The startup aims to become a central hub for professional identity and networking, integrating with existing digital tools and evolving alongside the future of work.
“Our ambition is to redefine how professionals present themselves and connect globally,” Blanco Ferro explains. “This is just the beginning.”
