Mobile internet tech company Hubby proves worth of in-destination eSIMs

Seed-round fund-raise already underway

Hubby, the mobile internet technology for travel sellers and providers to keep customers connected in-destination is set to reach a company milestone, closing a successful second year of trading.

Launched in December 2022, Hubby’s B2B2C tech solution enhances customer service and creates cross-selling opportunities by offering global internet as a value-add for their end customers whilst in-destination via affordable eSIMs.

According to the company by year’s end its revenues will hit around €750,000. It says it has already delivered more than 175,000 eSIMs through its B2B2C sales routes, including via travel agencies and tour operators.

Thijs van de Wijk, Founder & CEO of Hubby, said: “I’d like to thank all our B2B2C partners who have placed their faith in us to provide their travellers with internet in-destination.

“At the outset we felt very strongly that selling eSIMs as an ancillary on commission to consumers was already on its way out and that the best way to distribute them was as a value-add through travel providers and partners – having such players instead use them as an enabler of value for their clients that opens the door to cross-selling and improved customer experiences.

“What other product could you offer your customer for just a few euros that adds so much to their experience and directly benefits you? Our clients report increased bottom line and NPS scores and the word is getting out there, we’ve had enquiries from all four corners of the world.”

To date, Hubby has been funded with €450,000 raised from friends and family.
