We built the eSIM layer the roaming industry refused to build — founded in Tallinn in 2019, now powering 412,000+ subscribers across 142 countries.
A connectivity layer engineered by people who got tired of paying their own roaming fees. One profile, 190+ countries, 27 tier-1 carrier partnerships, and a 99.987% rolling uptime — audited, certified, and shipped at scale.
Founded by telecom engineers who refused to keep paying their own roaming bills.
In 2019, a small group of engineers from Skype and TransferWise met in Tallinn with a shared grievance: every trip outside the EU meant either a plastic SIM swap in a back-office kiosk, or a four-figure roaming bill waiting at the end of the month. They had spent a decade building voice and payment infrastructure at planetary scale. They knew the layer was technically solvable.
Teleki Blanka was the answer. The thesis was deliberately unfashionable: a contract-free, single-profile data layer that worked on any eSIM-capable handset, priced like infrastructure rather than like a holiday add-on. Six years later, the same engineering desk still ships every network release — now 64 people across six time zones, with the founding team still in the room.
