Scape, a Mexican on-demand spa and wellness company, secured a $1.3 million investment in an oversubscribed funding round to fuel expansion.
WHO: Helle Jeppsson and José de Murga founded Scape in 2019 as a digital platform offering on-demand spa and wellness services through a mobile application. The platform has provided over 85,000 services in 25 cities in Mexico and four in Colombia.
WHY: This funding will strengthen the business in existing markets and fuel expansion to Chile and the Dominican Republic, while also growing its operations in Colombia. The platform will also launch a range of wellness and personal care products under the brand MyS.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Helle Jeppsson, co-founder and CEO of Scape, comments, "There is a significant lack of innovation in the wellness sector, and in Latin America, we dedicate little time to personal care. There are few accessible options, the traditional spa model is cost-ineffective, and therapists have limited work opportunities. With these areas of opportunity and our expertise in the field, we decided to create a technology-supported solution—a on-demand platform that operates 365 days a year and enables therapists to increase their income fivefold."
