How I Made My Startup Looking Funded
You’re at a meetup. Just had a great convo with someone who could become your next investor...
Then comes the dreaded moment: “Hey, do you have a card?”
Uhhh… no.
So here's what I do now:
I’ve switched to a virtual business card that includes:
→ My name
→ Startup + role
→ Email, LinkedIn, Calendly
→ Even a CTA button (“Book a Demo”)
I’ve used mine at meetups, coworking intros, founder dinners, and even in a Slack DM. Every time, it leads to better follow-ups.
→ wisery.io is my new favorite founder hack.
Trending on Indie Hackers
This is solid advice—especially the part about creating noise before thinking. Too many people get stuck in the planning phase and never build momentum. Surrounding yourself with fellow indie hackers keeps that momentum alive, and shipping daily—even if it’s tiny—adds real progress. Selling first also keeps you honest about whether your idea has legs. Appreciate the reminder!
Agree
That’s a great tip! A virtual business card is such a simple change, but it really makes you look prepared and leaves a solid first impression. I can see how it would make follow-ups much easier.

Do you use a business card?
Love this — such a simple shift, but high-leverage. That “Book a Demo” CTA on your virtual card is a game-changer, especially in high-signal environments like founder dinners or pitch events.
I always tell early-stage SaaS founders: every interaction is a soft pitch — and tools like this turn quick intros into real pipeline.
Bonus tip: Pair your virtual card with a mini landing page showing traction (logos, testimonials, 1-liner USP). Makes your startup feel funded before you are.
