😍 We are Gigs

  • Gigs is the world's first telecom-as-a-service platform. We’ve built for telecommunications what Stripe built for payments, and enable companies to seamlessly launch their own branded phone plans:
    • Businesses can attract and monetize new users, create smooth customer journeys, and unlock new revenue streams.
    • Consumers can go from sign-up to talking and browsing in under 3 minutes.
  • Gigs empowers innovators from various industries. From fintechs providing branded phone plans alongside their payment cards, retailers offering subscriptions bundled with their mobile devices, to HR platforms enabling businesses to issue employee phone plans with just a tap, our telecom operating system provides everything companies need to embed connectivity.
  • We’re backed by Google’s Gradient Ventures and Y Combinator, along with prominent business angels and investors, including the CEOs of Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart. As part of Gigs, you will have access to world-class advisors, resources, and support that will help us navigate our rapid growth.
  • Gigs was part of the YC W21 and YC Growth W23 batches and raised a $20MM Series A.
