They do get compared quite a bit, even in 2017 already:
Twilio ( TWLO), a $2.3 billion Silicon Valley-based cloud communications company, went public in June of 2016 at $15 per share and its stock nearly doubled in the first day of trading to close at $29. The beneficiaries were primarily venture funds who got in before the company went public. Fortunately, for public investors today, Pareteum ( TEUM), a New York-based cloud communications company is on a similar growth trajectory and offers similar potential for high-returns.
Like Twilio, Pareteum provides a cloud communications platform that enables software developers to create and deliver voice, SMS, video, Internet of Things (IoT), payments and other communications applications globally. This is done on cloud-based software, without the traditional mobile telecommunications hardware infrastructure. This means minimal capital expenditures, faster growth and higher margins – a great combination to produce investor returns.
The product of a successful turnaround with a new management team laser focused on mobile cloud communications, Pareteum has proven extremely effective at getting new customers and growing market share and sales. Pareteum’s best performance measure, its revenue backlog, reached a record $129 million as of November 30, 2017, up an astonishing 115% from the end of theQ2 2017 and 37% in just two months, from the end of Q3 2017...
Rapidly expanding into global markets including Brazil, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, Pareteum is diversifying its customer base and aggressively pursuing growth markets. Vodafone ( VOD), the second largest mobile operator in the world in terms of number of connections, is one of Pareteum’s largest customers.
