Revaia partner Morgan Kessous who shared: "There have been a few initiatives and significant funding to digitize the beauty market over the last years, but Planity was the first player to design a platform with a 360-degree view of the local businesses’ needs. Rather than focusing solely on the end users’ acquisition, Planity has built both its business model and its product around the vision to be the daily operating system of beauty professionals — now covering bookings, payments, inventory management, etc. Since our investment in 2021, Planity went from strengths to strengths, growing 4x over the period. The company is now in a very good position to expand its French leadership to several European countries, starting with Germany and Belgium where it experiences strong reactions."
