About Swapcard

The Parisian startup Swapcard, which develops a platform to streamline networking during events, has completed a €4 million funding round with private investors. In 2015, the company raised €500,000. Founded in 2013 by Baptiste Boulard, Damien Courbon, and Godefroy des Francs, Swapcard initially offered a tool for digitizing business cards to rethink the exchange of contacts between professionals. Faced with the massive use of the mobile app at conferences and trade shows, which are ideal opportunities for networking, the young French startup decided to evolve its service to focus exclusively on event networking. Powered by artificial intelligence, the Swapcard platform aims to improve the experience of participants and exhibitors by facilitating connections.
