Discover the behind-the-scenes of Cardynale
Who we are, what drives us, and how we’re reinventing the business card every day.
The genesis of Cardynale
It all began in 2021, in Nancy, when our founders, Antoine and William, were studying at Mines Nancy.
They shared a simple idea: modernize professional exchanges while putting an end to the waste of paper business cards. Julien helped with the card production.
Back then, it was called JustOneCard. But the project quickly gained momentum and evolved into Cardynale: an essential solution for digital networking.
Today, we connect thousands of professionals and companies worldwide. And this is just the beginning of our journey!
We're set on changing the world. One card at a time.
Our mission: to simplify business interactions, empowering you to seize every opportunity that comes your way.
FIGHTING POLLUTION IN THE PAPER INDUSTRY
The paper industry is the third most polluting industry.
Here’s a comparison of using 300 contact exchanges over 5 years:
- 359g of CO2 emitted for the connected card
- 2400g of CO2 emitted for paper cards
That’s an 85% reduction in CO2 emissions.
DESIGNED, CREATED, AND MADE IN FRANCE
Manufactured in the heart of France, to keep the carbon footprint of our operations as low as possible.
To achieve this, we use recycled wood or PVC, as well as metal, for all our cards.
We strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible, without compromising on the quality or design of our products.
A SIMPLE CONTACT, A LASTING RELATIONSHIP
We believe in the power of connections and the opportunities created by strong relationships.
The connected card allows you to build lasting relationships with your contacts, clients, and prospects.
It helps you stay in touch and build trust over time through every interaction.
