Category Standard

Telna is a highly established, verified telecom infrastructure provider (founded 2002) with significant market presence in the eSIM/roaming sector. External verification confirms substantial traction, including a recent strategic investment from Gemspring Capital (Dec 2024) and the launch of a $100M eSIM growth fund. Estimated annual revenue is ~$38M with ~100-150 employees, placing it well above the calibration baseline. However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product'), inaccurate fields (market cap confused with revenue), and a lack of specific evidence, which heavily penalized the Response Quality and Audience Reach metrics despite the company's actual success.
