Our take
Hologram is a cellular platform for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. Its platform can connect any device to any network, anywhere. As an example, Hologram enables SIM cards to automatically switch network access to the best coverage across around 500 carriers in over 200 countries.
Industries from transportation and logistics to healthcare and agriculture are quickly adopting IoT technology but often don’t have the resources to do so with transparency or control. Hologram's launched IoT dashboard acts as a trusted partner for customers who are connecting IoT devices, whilst providing analytics for optimizing IoT performance.
Earlier investments, led by Tiger Global, went towards building Hologram’s offices into an inspiring space where employees carry out their best work. Moving forward, Hologram plans to invest in expanding operations and the reach of its business positioning it nicely for a future of success.
