A new real-time business social network is set to shake up the jaded LinkedIn model
‘The last thing you should have to worry about is maintaining somebody else’s contact details’.
This is the mantra and mission statement from London-based company ConnectID, which has released a real-time Social Network on Android and the iOS, promising instant contact updates to those who sign up.
The company officially launched in December 2015 and it wants to transform the world’s contact information and change our behaviour for how we access and share contact details. Think of those physical business cards on your desk … imagine them being automatically updated as soon as you touch them.
The Founder of the company is Tassos Papantoniou, a yachtbroker who has experience of how long it takes to find the right yacht for a person and his concomitant network. His Co-Founder, Alison Wightman was Head of Digital at Virgin Atlantic for eight years and is passionate about what the network offers both consumers and businesses.
“We want to organise the world’s contact information and change how we all share and update contacts. Our patented technology will keep an Address Book up to date and backed up simply by joining the service,” she says.
The company is also being innovative in other ways and has applied to pitch to Richard Branson as part of Virgin’s #VOOM competition and if it gets through this round it could be part of a Guiness world book of records Pitchathon attempt, which would be pretty cool in itself.
ConnectID is one of those simple ideas that look more obvious the longer you think about it. After some serious road-testing, the app is durable, useful and saves a lot of time. I’m going to vote for it in the #VOOm competition, I suggest many of you should do the same.
