History
Gigs was founded in 2020 by Hermann Frank and Dennis Bauer and subsequently joined Y Combinator in 2021. The following year, it secured $20 million through a Series A financing round supported by Google's Gradient Ventures, YC Continuity, Speedinvest, alongside notable angel investors such as Tony Xu (DoorDash), Fidji Simo (OpenAI), and Dara Khosrowshahi (Uber).
In 2023, the company unveiled Operator, an AI-driven solution tailored for MVNOs aimed at cutting customer service expenses by up to 95%. Its "MVNO in a box" innovation enables organizations to deploy wireless services either through white-label options or API integration. Additionally, Gigs offers wholesale connectivity, payment processing, OSS/BSS platforms, and telecom tax compliance services.
Collaborations extend to fintech companies including Klarna, Nubank, Walmart's OnePay, Wealthsimple, and Lendable, as well as mobile device manufacturers such as Light, Murena, and Punkt.
By December 2024, Gigs formed a partnership with Vodafone and completed a $73 million Series B funding round led by Ribbit Capital. In September 2025, AT&T announced its collaboration with Gigs to assist U.S.-based technology firms in launching mobile network services.
