Beyond Business Cards
Launching Summer 2025, Yard Cards are smart connection profiles for individuals, teams, and organizations. Yard Cards let you interact with business events and other cards across websites, messaging apps, social media, and email. For example, you can receive notifications about upcoming business events. But, that's not all.
Premium Yard Cards offer extensive customization and integration options, including the ability to capture a double opt-in, make contact data available to 3rd party software, issue cards for employees, manage cards via API, or highlight profiles as verified.
Whether exploring, networking, relationing, collaborating, or staying in touch, Yard Cards help you connect on your terms. Reinvent the way you use your identities.

By adding their interests and following brands, users can increase the quality of their recommendations and interactions.
Ultimately, YARD aims to connect the right people with the right events.
Relationships of Cards
Yard Cards aren't just for individuals—they can represent companies, departments, teams, or even IT systems. These cards can form relationships with each other and include robust privacy controls.
Company managers have administrative rights over the business cards of their employees, enabling oversight and updates. Users can export contact data to any third-party software, with tools to manage its accuracy and lifespan.
