As the world evolves into a digital era, the telecom industry stands at the forefront of transformative change.
In this blog, we highlight four trailblazing telecom startups – all based in the Washington, DC region. Each one is revolutionizing the way we connect and communicate. And each one is rapidly growing their team.
Read on to learn about these startups and their exciting career opportunities.

- Company size: 25-50
- Year Founded: 2016
- Funding: $7.7M, Series A

Lynk
- Work Policy: Onsite (Falls Church, VA)
- Company size: 50-75
- Year Founded: 2017
- Funding: $50M, Series A
What problem are they solving? Over 3 billion people per year own mobile phones but are disconnected for extended periods of time because only 10% of the Earth’s surface is connected by cell towers. 90% of the planet has “coverage black spots,” otherwise known as “0G”. Mobile coverage is limited by the economics of building and operating traditional ground-based cell towers, making it cost-prohibitive to expand into remote areas lacking coverage.
Lynk solves this problem by connecting standard mobile phones directly to satellites, otherwise known as “cell-towers-in-space”. Anyone who has a mobile phone already in their pocket will now stay connected everywhere using Lynk’s satellites. Lynk will connect billions everywhere with their existing phones, and connect the next 1 billion people who will buy their first mobile phone after they have affordable coverage where they live and work.
Lynk is the only patented, proven, and commercially licensed satellite-direct-to-standard-mobile-phone system (sat2phone) in the world.
