Andrew Yang took inspiration from Mark Cuban for his budget cell carrier Noble Mobile


“I’m as guilty of doomscrolling as the next person, but knowing that doomscrolling is actually costing me money makes me feel dumb,” Yang told TechCrunch.

(For context, as a screen-addicted millennial who constantly streams podcasts, audiobooks, and YouTube videos on the go, I’m averaging around 13 GB per month, which means that I would get around $7 back from a $50 payment if I cashed out.) Noble Mobile raised a$10.3 million seed round led by Corazon Capital with participation from marketing professor Scott Galloway and other venture firms.
