Pushdot

Startup Name Pushdot
What problem are you solving? The social networking industry is blossoming with new platforms becoming household names essentially overnight. While each of our profiles on these networks are highly customizable, they are often aimed at a broad audience of connections made on that respective platform.

Because of this we consciously decide who to connect with on each network based on our real world relationship with each person. No two relationships are exactly the same as LinkedIn and business cards would have you believe! Pushdot understands this by enabling you to only share the contact information relevant for each new connection.

What is your solution? Pushdot is an iOS app that lets you hand out any combination of your contact details to someone you are networking with, whether they have the app or not. Imagine if each business card that you pulled out of your pocket had the exact info on it that you wanted to share with the person you were handing it to, this is what Pushdot does – but in app form.
