What Sinch does

Swedish cloud communications platform enabling businesses to send SMS, voice and messaging-app communications to customers globally.

Charges per message or per minute and keeps the difference between what businesses are billed and what mobile networks charge it, so volume is large but profit per message is small. Growth has come through acquisitions in voice and email, such as Inteliquent and Mailgun, and a shift toward messaging apps such as WhatsApp.

In one line: A cloud CPaaS provider like a smaller Twilio.

  • Information Technology
  • Cloud communications (CPaaS)
  • SMS/voice/messaging API platform

What could go right

  • Business messaging/CPaaS market growth
  • Cross-sell of voice/email alongside SMS

What could go wrong

  • Carrier fee pass-through margin pressure
  • Heavy debt load from acquisitions

Moat: narrow (scale, network effects, switching costs). Global carrier connectivity network and embedded API integrations create switching costs, though CPaaS pricing is competitive.
