Elevator Pitch: DataXoom provides mobile data services for medium- and large-sized businesses. We connect tablets, mobile hotspots, and specialty devices to cellular networks, offering improved controls and lower costs.
Market Opportunity
Twenty-five million mobile data devices, including cellular-enabled tablets, laptops, and hotspots, will be sold in the U.S. annually for the next several years. Enterprises will drive a large part of this growth.
As network technologies become standardized around LTE, we believe the enterprise market will evolve away from the current, carrier-centric model. This current carrier model offers enterprises services that are only slightly-modified consumer offerings, with many painful ‘gotchas’ like two-year contracts, termination penalties, device restrictions, and data caps.
At DataXoom, we’ve designed our business entirely around the needs of mid- and large-sized businesses. DataXoom only provides mobile data services, and only sells to businesses. Our technology platform offers more flexibility, better control and lower costs.
Product
DataXoom has wholesale relationships with three of the nation’s largest wireless service providers. We offer our customers a choice among multiple mobile networks, including the latest 4G LTE networks.
When compared with buying directly from a mobile operator, DataXoom’s mobile data services provide several unique and important advantages:
Sales and Marketing Strategy
DataXoom is revolutionizing mobile data for business. We’re off to a fast start in our sales and marketing efforts, with several major customers, including some of the largest U.S. companies. In addition to selling directly to enterprises, we’ve developed distribution partnerships with a handful of closely-related software and service providers.
Team’s Story
I was founder and president of Virgin Mobile USA, which grew to five million customers and is now a brand within Sprint. At Virgin, we focused on meeting the needs of a specific segment of customers, and we bring that same approach to DataXoom. My senior colleagues spent many years at Nextel selling mobile services to enterprises, and have extensive experience running wireless startups.
Current Needs
We are looking to hire a few great people in sales, operational and developer roles. We may pursue a round of growth capital later in 2014.
