What is Blinq?
At Blinq, we believe the first interaction can spark opportunities that last a lifetime. That’s why we built the world’s #1 digital business card - an instant, intuitive way to exchange details - and that success has won our wedge into something bigger. Next, we’re building on that momentum to reshape how professionals stay connected – not just in the moment, but long after. In a world where follow-ups slip through the cracks and relationships are increasingly fragmented, we’re building the tools to keep people genuinely connected. If you’re driven to shape the future of human connection, we’d love to have you with us.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
