What is ArrivalSIM?
ArrivalSIM is a travel eSIM.
ArrivalSIM offers affordable travel eSIMs for 190+ countries, with hotspot included on every plan. Share your data with your laptop or travel partner at no extra cost, something many eSIM providers limit or block. Plans start from just a few euros. Install at home, switch on when you land, and you're online instantly. No roaming bills, no airport SIM kiosks. Founded by Peter, a travel photographer based in Bali.

I just want a good place in my life where I can live and do the things I want to do with the people I want to do them with — you don't have to be a billionaire to do that
Design the Business Around Your Life, Not the Other Way Around
After quitting a VC-backed startup where his board dictated every metric, Ian deliberately chose a profitable services business specifically because it fit the life he wanted to live. He moved to rural New Hampshire, plays video games Saturday mornings, and treats the ability to step away as a sign of a healthy business, not a lack of ambition. This reframes success from growth metrics to personal sovereignty.
Don't mess with something that's really good. We look to refine but the main proposition is already there and there's a lot of users that really enjoy it — we have to continue to deliver on that.
When you acquire a great product, don't overhaul it — refine the edges
A common acquirer mistake is re-architecting a beloved product post-acquisition. Maple Media's rule: if the app already has loyal users, the product-market fit is proven. Day-one focus goes to implementing the Ivory platform (consistent infrastructure) and fixing presentation gaps, not redesigning the core. The value at acquisition is already there — protect it first.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.

1Hey 👋 I'm Peter, a travel photographer living in Bali. After years of landing in new countries and wandering around airports looking for a SIM card or Wi-Fi, I wanted something simpler. So I built ArrivalSIM: install your eSIM at home, switch it on when you land, and you're online before the seatbelt sign goes off. Two things I cared about most: - Affordable plans, starting from just a few euros - Hotspot included, so you can share data with your laptop or travel buddy (lots of eSIMs block this) It covers 190+ countries, and you get a full refund as long as the eSIM isn't installed. Fun fact: I built the whole store with AI as a solo founder. What I'd love you to try first: search your next destination and compare my prices with your regular competitor. Any feedback on the site, pricing or checkout is super welcome. Safe travels! ✈️
