Hiwave makes connecting in person awesome and effortless. Our smart products allow you to instantly connect with people you meet by sharing your information with one tap of your phone. Our flagship product, the HiWave sticker, uses simple NFC (near field communication) technology to help you instantly share your phone number, social media handles, and any other info you want, and our app then allows you to easily recall and follow up. Other people don't need an app or a sticker to tap and get your info.
HiWave was founded by the former technology director at Harvard Innovation Labs.
