Our take

The card trading and collecting community is stronger than ever, but keeping track of the value of collections has to date been complicated and tedious. Faced with this, LUDEX was founded to provide a better and quicker way to discover the value of cards, with its innovative AI-powered scanning app.

With LUDEX, collectors of baseball, football, and basketball cards, as well as both Pokémon and MTG trading cards, can find out the worth of individual cards by simply scanning the front of them. In addition, the app allows users to add cards to their portfolios, and see the total value of different collectible sets - sorted by card type or a custom characteristic.

The company's next steps include expanding the card-types it services to include Yu-Gi-Oh!, soccer, and MMA cards, amongst others. It has raised significant investment to accelerate growth and expand operations, all towards its goal of empowering those in the community to pursue their hobby more easily.
