👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Dylan Allen, and Ernesto Valencia and I are building Cheers. We just moved to SF from Utah (got into @ycombinator), and we’re stoked to share what we've been working on with you. 🚀 Cheers is different from your typical digital business card. We’ve built NFC-enabled employee badges that do more than just share contact info—they directly connect each interaction to the individual employee. 💡 For example, imagine a hospice worker verifying their identity with a quick tap, or a door-to-door sales rep being accountable for being too pushy. This allows businesses to gather feedback, verify employment, and capture leads effortlessly. By focusing on the employee level, we help improve the customer experience and ensure the right people get recognized for their work. We’re just getting started, but we're building toward creating the go-to platform for in-person teams, where every interaction is seamless and adds value for both the employee and the business. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and answering any questions. Cheers to better interactions! 🥂

This is one of those rare solutions that come out of nowhere and make you think, “why hasn’t this existed before?” This is an area ready to be upset by some innovators and Dylan and Ernesto are crushing it.

💡 Bright idea
Hi, I love your homepage and your product presentation. How much value does backed by Y Combinator add? it takes up a lot of valuable space To me it's not "And Trusted by Businesses Including" it's "Trusted by Businesses Including" I want to know who is using it not who is investing in it but I could be wrong
Dylan Allen
@userinsite This is really helpful, and a really good point. I'll switch up the wording, as those are all businesses using Cheers!

@dylanallen0 Looks much better! Let me know if need more insight, I am building up my resume as a product tester/analyst

Interesting use case for companies that provide services like UrbanCompany in India
Dylan Allen
@mallikarjun_reddy3 This sounds very interesting. I'd love to pick your brain about this sometime, and how to potentially get connected to companies like that in India!

Hey Dylan, I'm curious about the security aspects. How do you protect employee and customer data collected through the NFC interactions? Have you considered expanding into other industries beyond sales and healthcare? Congrats on the launch!
Dylan Allen
@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo! Thanks for the comment! We encrypt and safely store all customer data! Would be happy to go into more detail in a call if you're interested.

Hi there! The concept of using NFC enabled badges to streamline in person business tasks is a fantastic. This looks like a great way to simplify interactions and improve efficiency.
Dylan Allen

Alexander Kovalov
Hu Dylan, what verticals do you see the most usage of Cheers?
Dylan Allen
@alexander_kovalov Hey Alexander, I think Cheers will be most useful to the types of businesses that do most of their job outside of a specific place of business, like plumbers, electricians, field sales, hospice workers, etc. We're helping customers across all sorts of different industries right now, and everyone has been loving it!
Dylan Allen
@alexander_kovalov I'd also love to hear your thoughts on what you think it could be most useful in!
Ryan Allen
so much potential here, I’m excited to see this take off
Dylan Allen
@ryan_allen6 Thanks so much Ryan you're the best!
Deborah Ann Smith Allen
Dylan your product is outstanding - I love how you have created something that is so helpful and engineered to individual business needs by directly connecting each interaction with individual employees. Very impressive product - keep up the excellent work!
Dylan Allen
@deborah_ann_smith_allen Hey thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!!!
Zach Daniels
Great launch Dylan and Ernesto! Which kinds of businesses benefit most from both collecting reviews and verifying employment with a phone-tap?
Dylan Allen
@zach_daniels Thanks for the comment Zach! Being able to do different customer actions like leave a review or verify employment (or ask for a quote, etc.) benefit businesses like Healthcare workers, plumbers, electricians, window washers, and basically any business who does the majority of their business in-person!
Andrew Carpenter
I love the homepage of your website. This seems like a very easy way to get important feedback rolling back to companies. I'm excited to see how they start implementing this in the future and what other improvements come along!
Dylan Allen
@andrew_carpenter3 Thanks so much Andrew, really appreciate your comment! We're super excited about what we're building too!
