About The Grifflet Company


  • Grifflet began as an idea when two pen pals from California and Norway started exchanging e-mails.  Between the two of them, they developed a flash presentation "Virtual Business Card" that could be imbedded into their email signatures.
  • This ultimately led to another development, the "click to connect" feature, that would provide users and receivers of email with an "all in one" address card which connects the recipient to the sender's email, websites, phone numbers, social networking pages and even a Google map to the sender's business location, with just one click.
  • The idea was so highly thought of that the Norwegian Government Grant Office, (Innovation Norway), gave Jeanie Cunningham and Elisabeth Thormodsrud grants to help launch this new concept of extended e-mails.
