Company Overview
About Gigs
Gigs is a Berlin, Germany-based telecom-as-a-service platform — backed by Y Combinator (W21) with $97.1 million in total funding including a $73 million Series B in December 2024 led by Ribbit Capital with Google's Gradient Ventures, Y Combinator, and Speedinvest — providing technology companies with MVNO-as-a-service infrastructure that enables any brand to launch its own wireless mobile service in days without building carrier relationships, spectrum licenses, or telecom infrastructure. Serving leading tech brands including Nubank, Wealthsimple, HR platforms, travel companies, and phone manufacturers, Gigs enables embedded connectivity as a feature — allowing businesses to offer mobile plans to their customers as a native product extension that increases retention and creates new revenue streams.
Business Model & Competitive Advantage
Gigs's MVNO infrastructure platform addresses the market access barrier that prevents non-carrier companies from offering mobile service: launching an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator — a company that provides mobile service by reselling network capacity from major carriers) historically required negotiating wholesale carrier agreements, building BSS/OSS billing systems, handling SIM provisioning and distribution, managing number porting and regulatory compliance, and staffing a telecom operations team. This made MVNO launching a 12-18 month, multimillion-dollar infrastructure project accessible only to large companies. Gigs's telecom-as-a-service stack (API-based SIM provisioning, pre-negotiated carrier agreements, built-in billing and customer management, compliance infrastructure, and eSIM support) compresses the MVNO launch timeline to days for a company with an existing customer base — enabling a neobank to offer mobile plans to its banking customers or an HR platform to include phone service in its employee benefit offerings.
Competitive Landscape 2025–2026
In 2025, Gigs competes in the MVNO infrastructure, telecom-as-a-service, and embedded connectivity market with Bandwidth (NASDAQ: BAND, cloud communications platform, $500M revenue), MVNO Dynamics (white-label MVNO), and Twilio (NASDAQ: TWLO, cloud communications, $4B+ revenue) for technology company embedded mobile service launch and telecom-as-a-service API platform adoption. Ribbit Capital's Series B leadership (Ribbit is a leading fintech-specialized VC with investments in Nubank and Robinhood) and Google Gradient's participation reflect conviction in Gigs's embedded financial services and fintech connectivity use case. The Nubank customer relationship (Nubank is the world's largest digital bank by customers with 100M+ users) validates the platform at global scale. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the embedded fintech mobile product (neobanks and fintechs adding mobile service as a bundled offering), building the eSIM-first digital distribution for no-SIM-card mobile activation, and expanding the US carrier partnerships for broader domestic network coverage.
