Gigs, Inc. is an American technology company in the telecommunications space, headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company offers a telecom-as-a-service platform allowing companies to launch their own branded wireless service.[1]
History[edit]
The company was founded by entrepreneurs Hermann Frank and Dennis Bauer in 2020. In 2021, the company was accepted into the Y Combinator accelerator program.[2]
In 2022, the company completed a Series A investment round of $20 million, receiving backing from Google's Gradient Ventures, YC Continuity, Speedinvest, and business angels such as Tony Xu (CEO of DoorDash), Fidji Simo (CEO of Instacart), and Dara Khosrowshahi (CEO of Uber).[3]
Services[edit]
Gigs has been described as "MVNO in a box", allowing companies to launch their own wireless service with a white-label solution or via API, enabling companies to embed their wireless service into the customer's app or website directly.[4]
The company combines everything from wholesale connectivity, payments, OSS / BSS, telecom taxes, and more.[5]
Since its start, the company announced various customers including neobank Zolve[6] and phone manufacturers such as Light[7], Punkt[8], and Murena.[9]
In 2023, Gigs announced an AI product for MVNOs called Operator, designed to reduce customer support overhead by up to 95%.[10]
