About Us
Migo levels the digital playing field for 3 billion under-innovated consumers - bringing the best bits of the internet to the local corner store, across the emerging world.
After bringing reading into the digital era, Kindle tech inventor Barrett Comiskey built Migo’s disruptive unique ecosystem solution to provide affordable access to digital products and services. Backed by Temasek, blue chip VCs and key industry insiders, Migo delivers data 40 times cheaper than the best telco alternative. Migo’s cost advantage is projected to grow over time as data consumption increases.
Migo launched in Indonesia in 2020. Its product is micro-subscription (“sachet”) passes providing customers access to entertainment, education, financial products and other relevant digital lifestyle services at the neighborhood cloud (aka Migo Download Station/MDS) hosted at convenient retail locations.
