01 The challenge

What needed solving

Small businesses depend on being found by local customers, yet the old directories have faded and paper business cards are lost the moment they are handed over.

The goal was one simple platform where a business can list itself, share a digital card in seconds and be discovered by people nearby — on the phone in their pocket.
