After 20 years advising, launching and operating MVNOs across 15 countries, I have identified a sizeable segment in the UK and European mobile market that no MVNO has been built for. It is not served badly. It is simply not targeted.
We are seeking investment partners to co-fund the launch of a new MVNO built for a high potential segment across UK and European markets that no MVNO currently targets, led by a founder who has launched 15 MVNOs before.
