Backers including Ventures Platform are wagering that an inventory system can win where telco wallets have stalled.

Why it matters

The founders who win here treat discipline as a feature, not a phase.

Strip away the hype and you're left with a practical question about cash flow that every operator faces.

Competitors won't sit still. Expect telco wallets to respond within the quarter.

What to watch next
