What happened
Popcorn raised a $5.03 million seed round from Adjacent, Protagonist, and Prototype Capital to build a global mobile service offering talk, text, and data across more than 180 countries without conventional roaming fees, positioning itself as a next-generation global telecommunications platform.
Why it matters
Popcorn extends the travel-eSIM playbook into a full global phone service — talk and text included, not just data — a hint that the next wave of digital MVNOs will compete on borderless plans rather than country-by-country top-ups.
