The people behind VisionLink

We are a small team in Durbanville, Cape Town, and VisionLink started as a question one of us asked on campus.

Jacques, Brandon and Mathys

How it started

Three friends, one question and a lot of late nights.

“What if business cards actually worked?”

The question Brandon asked on campus, and the one we still build around.

A question on campus

Brandon was on campus, deep in an architecture degree, when one question stuck with him: what if business cards actually worked? Paper cards tend to get a quick look before they are lost or thrown away.
The first card

He roped in Jacques, and together they sketched a digital card that wouldn’t end up in the bin. They built it between lectures, late at night and early in the morning, until the first version shipped.
Mathys joins

Mathys came on board to help grow the product and the code behind it. Day by day, the three friends turned one card into a platform: templates for different trades and occasions, company accounts for whole teams, leads, statistics and AI tools.
Where we are today

Along the way we also built websites for clients: Credence Investment Group, a financial advice and wealth planning firm in Cape Town, and Spectra Trust, a fruit packaging company in Paarl. We also built VisionLink QR, the dynamic QR codes behind every card’s QR code and vlcard.me link.

What we do today

VisionLink cards are our main product. The same team also takes on website and AI workflow projects for other businesses, and runs VisionLink QR, dynamic QR codes you print once and point anywhere.

VisionLink cards

Digital business cards that open in any phone’s browser, from WhatsApp, a QR code or a link. Change yours whenever you like and collect leads on every plan.

Websites and web apps

Marketing websites and web apps, built by the same people who build VisionLink. We made the site in the picture for Credence Investment Group, and another for Spectra Trust.

AI workflows

We can connect AI to the tools your business already uses, so enquiries and documents get handled without retyping. VisionLink’s card assistant and card scanner run on AI too.

VisionLink QR

Dynamic QR codes you print once and point anywhere. Change the link any time without reprinting, and see how many times each code was scanned.
