Cardly Pty Ltd specializes in providing a unique service that allows customers to send personalized, handwritten cards digitally, enhancing meaningful communication in the modern world. Founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia, Cardly Pty Ltd offers a digital platform for sending personalized cards. The company has pivoted to focus on delivering creative card designs by independent artists and has received funding through a Seed round. The company raised AUD 235,000 in December 2017, led by QUT Creative Enterprise Australia, alongside investors including AirTree Ventures and Coreen Investments Pty Ltd.

The current estimated valuation stands at AUD 1. 306 mn. Cardly offers a service that enables users to send personalized, handwritten cards without physical writing. Customers can choose from a variety of card designs by independent artists and personalize messages online, which are then printed to imitate real handwriting.

The service addresses the demand for tangible communication in a digital age, catering to various occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Cardly operates in markets including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, appealing to consumers seeking innovative ways to communicate. Cardly generates revenue primarily through its card-sending services on a direct-to-consumer model. Customers personalize and select cards for different occasions, with options for individual purchases and bulk orders, including potential subscription services.

The pricing is structured to accommodate various budgets, and the company promotes eco-friendly practices, including contributions to tree planting initiatives, which resonate with environmentally conscious consumers. Cardly aims to expand its offerings with new card designs and features, enhancing user experience. The company is also looking to penetrate additional markets, specifically targeting regions in Europe and Asia by 2024. The recent Seed funding of AUD 235,000 will support these initiatives, along with the development of new product lines to further engage customers.
