The Business Card Is Broken: How This Pittsburgh Tech Entrepreneur Is Reinventing Networking

Interview by Jonathan Kersting

What if your next great business connection didn’t get lost in a pocket full of business cards or a foggy post-event memory?

In this TechVibe Radio interview, serial entrepreneur and Pittsburgh tech fixture David Radin of Confirmedapp.com is back in the studio to unveil Meet and Greet, a smart new product designed to fix one of networking’s biggest frustrations: forgetting who you met, what you talked about, and never quite following up.

Three fun reasons to listen:

  1. See the future of networking in action
    David walks through how Meet and Greet uses AI and optical character recognition to scan name badges, instantly exchange contact info, and eliminate awkward “remind me of your name again?” moments.

  2. Goodbye business cards, hello real connections
    Learn why traditional business cards and even e-business cards fall short, and how Meet and Greet keeps conversations from fading away by syncing notes, LinkedIn profiles, schedulers, and CRMs in just a few taps.

  3. A behind-the-scenes look at building smart tech that actually solves problems
    From early product pivots to real-world testing at major events, David shares candid insights on resilience, timing, and designing tech that makes people’s work lives easier, not harder.

If you love networking, attend events, or just enjoy hearing how thoughtful tech gets built, this episode is packed with energy, laughs, and practical ideas that might just change how you meet people in 2026 and beyond.
