## What is Cardeo?

THE BUSINESS CARD SCANNER THAT ACTUALLY HELPS YOU FOLLOW UP
Most business card scanners just digitize cards. Cardeo does something revolutionary: it helps you build and maintain relationships.
WHAT MAKES CARDEO DIFFERENT?

SMART FOLLOW-UP REMINDERS
The #1 reason networking fails? Forgetting to follow up. Cardeo automatically reminds you to reach out after meetings, with customizable schedules (1, 3, 5, or 7 days). Set your preferred reminder time, add context notes, and never let a connection go cold.

EVENT-BASED ORGANIZATION
Met 50 people at a conference? Cardeo groups all contacts by event, so you remember exactly where you met each person. Tag contacts by conference name, location, and date - perfect for tracking networking ROI.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
Unlike competitors who paywall everything, Cardeo gives you 3 free scans during onboarding. Experience the AI accuracy, see your contacts saved, and try the follow-up system - all before subscribing.

LOCKED TRIAL PREVIEW
Your 3 trial scans are saved but locked until you subscribe. See exactly what you're getting - preview your scanned contacts with beautiful card images before committing. It's like a test drive for your network.

INTERACTION TRACKING
Every note, call, email, or meeting gets logged with timestamps. Build a complete history of your professional relationships. See when you last connected and what you discussed.
