An spa appointments app raises funds as the service industry reaps its new profits
Mangomint concludes its Series A with $13 million
Mangomint, the Los Angeles-based appointment making startup, has just concluded its Series A fundraising round by pocketing $13 million. The round was led by OpenView Venture Partners and joined by startup300 as well as existing angels.
The company was founded in 2017 and it positions itself as a next-generation salon and spa software for businesses that helps them cut costs with smart automations and a beautiful experience from booking to checkout. Mangomint allows clients to avoid the tedious process of calling the separate salons or spas and announcing your credit card information out loud to make the booking. The app automates the entire process, thus allowing for a more comfortable booking experience.
Salons have experienced an exponential increase in clients, thus forcing them to rethink ways in which to best handle their appointments. This system also serves the employees, because it becomes easier to track their appointments and thus calculate their payrolls.
The company refers to their product as an OS for salons and spas that help not only with online booking, but also the automation of point-of-sale, employee payroll and customer relationship management. The company mainly operates in the US, however, it has recently extended its reach to Canada.
Despite its digital novelty, Mangomint representatives explicitly note that they are not aspiring towards a complete removal of human agents. Quite the contrary, they find them to be valuable assets to the salons as they often provide the best consultations.
