HiWave

HiWave is a startup founded in 2019 with the motto "Never miss a connection. Get your free HiWave now! (for a limited time)." It aims to revolutionize in-person networking by making it effortless and efficient. The flagship product, the HiWave sticker, utilizes simple NFC (near field communication) technology to facilitate instantaneous sharing of contact information with a single tap of a phone. This eliminates the need for exchanging phone numbers, fumbling with typing, or awkward waiting. What sets HiWave apart is that recipients don't require an app or a sticker to receive the shared information. The service is currently free, marking a unique selling point. However, the industries targeted and the headquarters location of the startup remain undisclosed.

This innovative approach to simplifying networking has caught the eye of investors, although specific details about the last investment round and the participating investors are not available at this time. Nevertheless, with its promising concept and potential to simplify networking dynamics, HiWave has the potential to disrupt the traditional business card exchange ritual and streamline personal and professional connections.
