From Surviving to Thriving: Jaime Manteiga Announces Breakthrough Contactless Business Card Amidst Covid-19

The upheaval caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus left businesses worldwide scrambling as it continues to disrupt the economy. As a matter of fact, the crisis has caused many companies, both big and small, to the brink of closure and bankruptcy. However, a few rose to the challenge and saw the crisis as a door of opportunity. Among those is Jaime Manteiga, founder of Taptok Inc. and Venkon Corp. This Cuban-American entrepreneur was born in Havana, Cuba, and spent growing up in Galicia and Madrid, Spain. Since young, Jaime always had that entrepreneurial spirit within him. He chased his dreams and found his purpose in Miami, Florida, in which he currently resides.

As a businessman, he has always seen communication as an integral part of any business. For instance, meeting with clients and business partners entails an exchange of contact information. Usually, these interactions involve the use of paper-based business cards. However, chances are, getting it lost is a constant worry for most business people. Aside from that, Jaime deemed paper-based business cards as too traditional and non-eco-friendly. In fact, millions of trees are cut down for the printing of these business cards.

Innovative as ever, Jaime made a breakthrough and started Taptok Inc, a company that revolutionizes the way we interact during networking events. He introduced the Taptok card, which is a modern alternative to your traditional business card. Using this novel technology, there is no need to hand out business cards every time one goes to a business event. Simply hold out the Taptok card to an NFC-enabled smartphone, the contact details are immediately transferred and saved to the owner’s phone. This eliminates the habit of handing out business cards, especially in today’s time wherein social distancing is essential.

“TapTok is a revolutionary approach to networking through innovative and customizable contact sharing technologies. Our products eliminate the need for paper business cards and offer a sleek alternative for modern users,” Jaime, founder of Taptok, shared.

According to its founder, the Taptok card offers multiple features. Compared to business cards that are static and unchangeable once printed, Taptok is fully dynamic. The user can update his/her profile information unlimited times in the dashboard feature. On the other hand, with Taptok, users can monitor if people are reacting to your profile. Data protection-wise, Taptok has security features that prevent loss/stolen information.

Moreover, this technology is economical in the long run since you only need one card forever. Its eco-friendly features remove the need to repeatedly print cards. Plus, it’s made out of durable material that looks aesthetically pleasing and can fit into any purse due to its standardized dimensions.

What started as a passion project in 2019 is becoming a game-changer, especially in the networking industry. At that time, NFC technology was widely used for wireless payment, which was nothing new. However, updates were made, and Jaime thought of making business cards contactless. Dauntless enough, Jaime launched Tapktok Inc a month and a half ago in the midst of an ongoing pandemic. Now in its early stage, Jaime is reaping the benefits of his innovation. His company, which is six months old, is currently earning 6 figures of revenue and increasing exponentially.
