Our take
Gigs is a telecommunication platform that helps businesses that want to provide connectivity to their customers without becoming fully-fledged connectivity providers.
As a Y Combinator W21 batch, Gigs distinguishes itself by offering phone & data plans through an easy-to-use API. The company provides phone & data plans through BT, Vodafone, T Mobile, Orange, Verizon, and hundreds of other networks. It has additionally launched an eSIM mobile service in partnership with Grover.
The company is backed by Gradient Ventures, Google, and Crane Venture Partners, as well as some of the investors behind Stripe, Airbnb, Facebook, Spotify and Plaid. Gigs' has been increasing its client base internationally and continues to do so through its growing number of partnerships and its planned European expansion.
