What Salvy does

Salvy is a Brazilian business-to-business mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) founded in 2022 in Curitiba. The company resells wholesale mobile network capacity as physical SIM cards, eSIMs, and virtual numbers targeted at companies with at least ten mobile lines or employees, differentiating from incumbent Brazilian carriers (Vivo, Claro, TIM) through no-loyalty contracts (sem fidelidade), instant line activation and cancellation, and a self-serve web dashboard. Its product portfolio has expanded from pure connectivity into adjacent IT operations: a real-time management dashboard, a REST API suite for virtual numbers, employee synchronization (with Microsoft 365 domain-based integration), and IT equipment lifecycle management, plus a free Bill Diagnostics tool that analyzes incumbent-carrier invoices to quantify potential savings.

Underlying technology is a Next.js front end with a Node.js/TypeScript backend on PostgreSQL and Redis, a Flutter mobile app, and infrastructure hosted on AWS (ECS Fargate, S3, ALB, RDS) with Terraform-managed IaC and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Webhooks are delivered via Svix. Engineering practices include nominal typing for CPF/CNPJ/email/phone fields and ADR-driven design documentation — strong software discipline for a company at this stage. The platform integrates with Meta's WhatsApp Business / Meta API to support virtual number verification, a critical use case for Brazilian businesses running WhatsApp-based sales and customer service.

The business model is post-paid subscription recurring revenue on monthly mobile plans, with virtual numbers explicitly priced at R$29.90/month and full plan pricing gated behind consultation. Go-to-market is product-led growth: free tools (Economy Calculator, Bill Diagnostics, WhatsApp Conversation Generator) drive top-of-funnel acquisition into the self-serve signup at app.salvy.com.br, with sales-assist available for larger accounts. The company has raised R$15 million across a December 2023 seed (SaaSholic + Y Combinator, W23 batch) and an April 2024 extension (Pioneer + Drew Houston), and claims more than 10,000 corporate customers with cumulative customer telecom savings of R$12 million. Named reference customers include Alice (health insurance), Neon (digital bank), Caju (HR/benefits), Lastro (fintech), and 3778 (retail).

Airalo: Airalo is the world's largest eSIM marketplace, offering mobile data plans across 200+ countries. It is comparable to Salvy's eSIM Global product line, though Airalo is primarily consumer-focused and international from inception, while Salvy is Brazil-first.
Holafly: Holafly provides eSIM data plans for international travelers, operating as a digital-first MVNO. It is comparable to Salvy in offering eSIM-based mobile connectivity without physical SIM cards, though Holafly focuses on travel use cases while Salvy targets corporate mobility.
Plivo: Plivo is a cloud communications platform offering SMS, voice, and phone number APIs to businesses. It is comparable to Salvy in the virtual number and API-first telecom model, though Plivo serves a global SMB and developer audience without Brazil-specific depth.
