Trunkstar

Based in Amsterdam, Trunkstar provides connectivity lifecycle management software for telecommunication businesses such as Carriers, ISPs, MSPs, and VNOs. The company was founded in 2022 by Matthijs van Seventer and Joeri Veder, who have extensive experience and a previous successful exit in the telecom sector. In December 2023, Trunkstar secured seed funding from Mindshift Ventures to accelerate its growth.

Trunkstar's core offering is a software platform designed to automate and streamline the entire connectivity lifecycle, from sourcing and quoting to ordering and management. The platform addresses inefficiencies in connectivity management, aiming to reduce operational costs, manual work, and development time for its clients. Its key features include real-time serviceability and price checks, rapid quote generation, order placement, and network footprint management with integrations for third-party networks. The software also provides tools for commercial governance, analytics, and business intelligence to help clients optimize and forecast.

The business model is centered on providing its software as a flexible, modular solution that can be tailored to a client's specific needs through an API-first approach, ensuring interoperability with existing systems like CRMs. Trunkstar also offers its platform as a white-label solution, allowing clients to brand the software as their own.
