Booksy

Booksy operates a booking marketplace for beauty, wellness and health services. Founded in 2014 by Polish serial entrepreneurs Stefan Batory and Konrad Howard, the company runs a dual-app system: a consumer app through which users find and book local professionals, and a provider app that combines scheduling, payments, marketing tools and business management software. The company describes itself as the largest and fastest-growing booking platform for beauty services, and says its apps have connected more than 44m users.

The technology work spans a mobile-first software platform, booking and scheduling systems, payments processing, marketing tooling and a two-sided marketplace. The provider product is aimed at hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, spas and massage therapists, with features intended to reduce no-shows and streamline day-to-day administration. Booksy employs more than 750 people worldwide and operates in six countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, Spain, Brazil and South Africa.

The company's stated mission centres on celebrating independence and supporting the entrepreneurial journeys of service providers, and it fosters a community among providers across its markets. Booksy has been recognised as a top 25 company for women and a top 50 company for diversity.
