Five Elms Capital led the Series A round to support international growth and AI product development.

"Spa and leisure operators are facing increasingly complex operations, payments, and guest-experience challenges. Legacy systems simply haven’t kept up.

As we look ahead, we see meaningful opportunities to introduce AI-assisted scheduling, forecasting, and personalization into the platform, capabilities that will further streamline operations and capture revenue previously lost to manual inefficiencies. Partnering with Five Elms allows us to accelerate this roadmap and deliver even more value to our customers."
