Sustainable eSIM provider bringing affordable Internet access to travellers worldwide in over 180 countries MoreLess
Kolet, formerly known as Ody, is a Paris-based travel technology company founded in 2024 that specializes in providing mobile connectivity for international travelers through electronic SIM (eSIM) cards. The company operates on a B2B2C business model, partnering with airlines and travel agencies such as Air France, KLM, and Kiwi.com to embed its eSIM solutions into their offerings. This model allows travelers to purchase and activate a digital SIM card directly through an application, granting them access to mobile data in over 190 countries and bypassing traditional roaming charges.
Kolet's primary service addresses the high costs and logistical issues associated with international mobile data usage. By offering a fully digital distribution system, the company provides a streamlined and cost-effective alternative to physical SIM cards and carrier roaming plans. The company generates revenue by selling these eSIM data packages to consumers, both directly and through its travel industry partners. The firm has secured significant venture capital, including a €5 million seed round followed by an €8.6 million Series A, with notable investors including Expedia Group.
