Telgea Funding News- Telgea Gets $2.7M to Simplify Global Mobile Operations Management

Research shows that companies spend $800 to $1,200 per employee each year on mobile services like devices, contracts, roaming, and admin work. For a company with 10,000 employees, that adds up to over $8 million a year and requires several full-time staff to manage.

Telgea solves this with one simple mobile platform. Businesses can onboard employees in any country using a single contract, phone number, and system—with no roaming charges, no messy billing, and no need to deal with local mobile providers.

The company was founded by Andreas Åfeldt Franke, who helped grow startups like Tipser and Innometrics while raising $500 million, and Theis Jensen, who built and sold medtech company Sani Nudge, operating in 16 countries.

According to Andreas Åfeldt Franke, co-founder and CEO of Telgea, the real value isn’t the savings; it’s eliminating friction:

“When you remove the need to manage multiple telecom contracts across countries, you free up internal resources and make it significantly easier to run and scale an international business.” 

Telgea uses AI to automate telecom tasks like onboarding and support. Its virtual agents take care of things like activating mobile plans and solving issues, which helps reduce the workload for IT and HR teams.

Telgea is already active in eight countries and is expanding to a new one each month. Its recent funding comes from Amigo Ventures, Antler, Motivate Ventures, and the Stockholm School of Economics.

“Just as Revolut made banking truly borderless, Telgea is breaking down global telecom barriers by fully automating what was once a manual, resource-heavy industry. This is the kind of execution that builds billion-dollar companies,” says David Wieland, founder and managing partner at Motivate Venture Capital.
