## What is Vela?

Vela turns the messy stack of business cards in your drawer into clean digital contacts — and gives you a beautiful digital card of your own to share with anyone, instantly.

Two ways Vela saves you time:

SCAN ANY BUSINESS CARD
Point your camera at a paper card and Vela's AI reads it in seconds — name, title, company, phone, email, website — then saves it straight to your iPhone contacts. No typing, no mistakes.

SHARE YOUR OWN CARD INSTANTLY
Create your digital business card once. Share it with a QR code, a link, or a tap. The person you meet just scans it with their camera — no app to download, nothing to install. They get your details on a clean web page and can save you to their contacts in one tap.

WHY PEOPLE USE VELA
• Go paperless — never run out of cards or carry a stack again
• AI-powered scanning that actually gets the details right
• Your card, your way — name, title, company, phone, email, website, LinkedIn, WhatsApp
• Recipients need nothing — no app, no sign-up, just your link or QR
• Save scanned contacts straight to your phone
• Your privacy respected — scanned contacts stay on your device

VELA PREMIUM
Upgrade for higher monthly scan limits and a premium-themed card. Manage your subscription anytime through your Apple account.

Perfect for sales teams, founders, consultants, recruiters, real-estate agents, and anyone who meets people for a living. Whether you're at a conference, a client meeting, or a coffee catch-up, Vela makes exchanging contacts effortless.
