What happened
French travel eSIM company Kolet raised a $10 million Series A led by Daphni, with participation from Peter Kern and Jon Gieselman, to expand mobile connectivity across more than 190 countries. Kolet also runs a B2B2C distribution model through travel partners including Air France, KLM, Kiwi.com, Exoticca, and Wego.
Why it matters
Kolet's airline and OTA partnerships show the next front in travel eSIM: distribution embedded at the point of booking rather than app-store discovery — a channel play that could outflank direct-to-consumer rivals on acquisition cost.
