MVNO Start-Up Masterclasses

MVNOs World Congress will be offering 3 standalone masterclasses for 60-90 minutes each on Monday 24th June. These interactive sessions will be led by James Gray and Erick O'Connor from Graystone Strategy. 

The team at Graystone Strategy is constantly speaking to MVNOs of all sizes, stages and nationalities. Despite their nuances, one thing holds true for all  - the need to have healthy relationships and well-structured agreements with their MNOs as well as propositions that will excel in their marketplace. 

Sign up for the 3-day pass to access these or see if you qualify for a VIP pass! Spaces are limited. 


The masterclass sessions will cover the following three topics:

Building a successful pitch to secure your preferred mobile operator

In this masterclass we will cover the critical components to building a winning wholesale pitch. We’ll highlight some of the errors that we have witnessed as leaders of wholesale teams, and we’ve experienced when reviewing MVNO pitches on behalf of operators.

This masterclass is ideal for new start-ups, and those who plan to launch in a market where new MVNOs are a regulatory requirement.

Key Topics we will cover:

  • Why MNOs partner with MVNOs
  • The critical preparation before the pitch
  • How MNOs assess potential MVNOs
  • The key components to a perfect pitch
  • Getting the numbers right

Delegates can ask questions throughout the session and there will be ample time for questions at the end as well as opportunity to have a confidential discussion afterwards
