Key takeaways

  • After Celiit, David started another company named Handwrytten, which aimed to provide the best handwriting services across the globe
  • At Handwrytten, David spent seven years developing machines (120 in total) with the best software, hardware, ink solutions (simple G2 ballpoint) and laser-cut technology to give Handwrytten notes a natural, paper-like feel
  • Handwrytten has staff who are dedicated to building machines for 3D cutting, laser cutting and building other electronic components 
  • Handwrytten’s system is designed to control these machines’ working pattern while also being able to update and maintain them
  • The “handwrytten” notes are indistinguishable from human handwriting, reflecting the variation in nuance
  • The format, font, and line spacing in each note is different every time. 
  • If the customer submits a series of samples the system is able to clone their style
  • The response rate of the customers with handwritten notes, coupons, etc. is 18-20% as compared to the 4-5% with traditional electronic mail
  • Handwrytten uses pen ink solutions rather than off-the-shelf laser ink to produce personalised handwriting. David believes that “Using pen ink gives it a natural handwritten feel” 
  • Handwrytten has worked hard on developing the paper feedback mechanism, which eradicates the need for inserting and taking papers from the machine manually, giving Handwrytten the advantage of working faster and more efficiently
  • David reiterates the importance of handwritten notes quoting the pandemic and isolation, a human connection that Handwrytten notes provide is all people wanted
