Hologram

What Hologram does

Hologram, Inc. is a Chicago-based cellular connectivity platform for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, founded in 2014. The company provides Global IoT SIM cards, Dual-Core SIMs with Outage Protection, eSIM profiles, the next-generation Hyper SIM (launched December 2024), and satellite connectivity, all delivering cellular data across 550+ carrier networks in 190+ countries with contractual 99.95% uptime guarantees. Its Conductor orchestration tool (launched April 2026) adds rules-based profile switching and automated provisioning at the fleet level, exposing a REST API and Python SDK for developer integration.

The platform serves roughly 6,000+ customers ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, including Verkada, Generac, Briggs & Stratton, Farmer's Fridge, Fieldin, Escavox, Arable, Fasal, and Sunday Power, across verticals such as physical security, retail, smart agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, smart cities, and video/media. Hologram combines a product-led growth funnel (free pilot SIMs, self-serve dashboard, e-commerce storefront) with enterprise field sales, custom contracts, and a competitive RFP process for larger deployments.

Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based cellular data plans (starting at ~3 cents per MB), subscription-based Premium Support with dedicated solutions engineers, SIM hardware sales, and custom enterprise plans with volume discounts and multi-year commitments. The company has raised at least $65 million in a Series B round led by Tiger Global in August 2021; total disclosed funding across all rounds approaches $66-67 million including smaller seed and debt rounds.
