She came in quiet... and was calling the shots by lunch 🔥 Meet Sofia, our Social Media Content Creator intern 😍 She's fresh out of uni and already turning Firsty into her personal production studio. By the end of week one, she'd recruited half the office for TikToks, added "Creative Director" to her imaginary title, and made us all just a little cooler online. From brainstorm to post, she’s bringing sharp ideas, sleek edits, and more energy than our coffee machine. We thought we were onboarding an intern. Turns out, we got a director, producer, hype woman, and social media overlord in one. And honestly? We’re not too mad about it.

Fast cars meet even faster internet 🔥 Stip Reizen - Powered by Corendon teamed up with Firsty for last week’s Formula 1 trip to Bahrain 🏎️ The entire group got online instantly with Firsty’s global eSIM. No roaming fees. No SIM hassle. Just scan, activate, and go 🏁 We’re partnering with brands that actually want to improve the travel experience. If you're in events, mobility, hospitality, or travel and thinking, "Our customers would love this too," reach out to Mathieu, Wouter, KD or Conrad. Let’s make travel easier. For real.

From Frustration to Innovation: Our Journey to 500,000 Users 😍😍😍 At Firsty, we started with a simple question: Why does staying connected while traveling have to be so complicated? Our founders, Vince and Gauthier, experienced firsthand the challenges of expensive roaming fees, unreliable SIM cards, and confusing data plans during their travels. Drawing from their experience at Adyen, they envisioned a solution that would make global connectivity seamless and accessible. This vision led to the creation of Firsty. A mobile app providing free global internet access without traditional telecom contracts. No more SIM swaps or unexpected charges; just instant connectivity wherever you are. In just nine months, we've grown organically to 500,000 users, spanning countries like Germany, Taiwan, and the US. Our freemium model, offering basic free internet supported by ads with options to upgrade for faster speeds, has resonated with travelers worldwide. We're proud to share our story and the milestones we've achieved! Read more about our journey here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/d7WTrMbS

The man powering Firsty APAC at full speed? KD 😍😍 Our very first hire in Singapore, and immediately Head of APAC! KD moves so fast, Singapore itself looks like it’s on slow-mo... But that’s not all. KD previously served as VP & Senior Director at BlackBerry (yes, that nostalgic ping), and as Executive VP at DT One. In short: he’s no stranger to the worlds of telecom and tech. KD hit the ground running from day one. Whether it’s cracking open new markets, assembling top-tier teams, or sealing deals, he makes it all look effortless. How he manages it all? We’re still trying to figure that out. But doing it with a sharp vision and a great sense of humor? But, who is KD? 📱 Still misses his BlackBerry (look it up, Gen Z) 🎾 Singapore’s secret Wimbledon contender 👧 Proud girl dad with a top-tier dad joke collection 🌏 Has worked in just about every corner of APAC: China, Japan, Korea, ANZ, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh… 💬 His jokes? Up for debate. But hey, we love him. KD Baruah (Krishnadeep), welcome to the crew. Let’s go build something legendary.

Too much of the mobile industry is built on complexity. Locking people into bundles, SIMs, contracts, fine print😵💫. But the real problem? Billions of people are still disconnected because access isn’t simple, fair, or free. At Firsty, we didn’t set out to sell a workaround. We set out to solve the root issue. Connectivity isn’t a privilege, it’s a right 🙌. So, we built a platform that offers basic mobile data for free, globally. Not as a promo. Not for a trial. Just as it should be. This isn’t a feature. It’s a belief. A small step toward a world where people don’t need to ask for connection, they just have it. Let’s build the internet we all deserve 🫶

Data Hoarders, This One’s for You STACKABLE ADS are here and yes, they’re finally live! For months, our Reddit community has been asking for this feature. We listened, tested, and now it’s finally rolling out. 🙌 So… what are stackable ads? They’re a smarter, more user-friendly way to stay connected. Instead of watching just one ad at a time, you can now stack multiple ads in a row and in return, you’ll stack more minutes of data. The more ads you choose to watch up front, the longer you can stay online without interruptions. That means more uninterrupted data time, all on your terms. Huge thanks to our community for pushing us to build better. Let’s keep shaping a future of seamless, user-first connectivity. Together. #ProductLaunch #StackableAds #UserDriven #AdTech #StayConnected #BuiltWithCommunity #TechInnovation
