About Parsley

We're building the future of professional networking - one digital business card at a time.

Mission

Our Mission

Parsley exists to eliminate paper business cards and transform the way professionals connect. We believe networking should be instant, sustainable, and intelligent - not wasteful.

Every year, 10 billion paper business cards are printed globally, and 88% of them are thrown away within a week. That's millions of trees, tons of CO₂, and billions of gallons of water wasted on something that could - and should - be digital.

Our Story

Parsley was born from a simple frustration: exchanging business cards at conferences felt outdated, wasteful, and inefficient. You'd come home with a stack of cards, manually type contacts into your phone, and watch 90% of those connections go nowhere.

We knew there had to be a better way - one that was faster, smarter, and kinder to the planet.

So we built Parsley: a digital business card platform that's beautiful, functional, and sustainable by design. Share your profile via QR code, capture every lead automatically, and see exactly who's engaging with your content - all while saving trees, water, and CO₂.

Today, Parsley is live at parsley.id, ready to help professionals network more effectively and sustainably.

About the Founder

Peter Duffy, Founder of Parsley

Peter Duffy

Founder & CEO

I'm building Parsley to replace static business cards with smart, brand-ready digital profiles. My background is in marketing technology - turning complex requirements into simple, product-led experiences.

As a solo founder I lead product and UX, own the roadmap, and work directly on the build from concept to release. Parsley grew from a practical idea: your profile should look great, update instantly, and prove its value. We deliver on-brand visuals, shareable wallet passes, lead capture, and analytics out of the box - with practical AI that helps teams present who they are, beautifully and measurably.
