description: >-
  Cape is a privacy-first U.S. mobile carrier (mobile virtual network operator)
  that leases physical tower capacity from major operators but builds and runs
  its own mobile core and SIMs, enabling privacy-enhancing controls that
  traditional carriers cannot offer. Features include daily identifier rotation
  (changing SIM ID numbers to disrupt persistent tracking), minimal data
  collection, disappearing call logs, secondary phone numbers, SIM-swap
  protection, network lock, and secure global roaming. Founded in 2022 by John
  Doyle and Nicholas Espinoza and headquartered in Arlington, Cape serves
  privacy-conscious consumers, enterprises, and U.S. government agencies, and has
  raised roughly $190M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital
  Ventures, IVP, and Costanoa Ventures. Cape publishes no public developer API;
  this profile is an API Evangelist network company record enriched from Cape's
  public web surface.
