Today, we're thrilled to announce our $15 million Series A funding round, led by Inspired Capital. (Read the full press release here.) This milestone represents more than just investment dollars—it's validation of what we've believed from day one: wellness professionals deserve technology that empowers their growth, not holds them back.
And a huge thank you to our investors who believe deeply in this vision as well: Inspired Capital, First Round Capital, and YCombinator.
What this means for you
If you're already part of the Arketa community, here's what won't change: our commitment to the fast, human support you rely on and the intuitive platform that makes running your business easier. We're doubling down on what matters most to you.
"We couldn't live without Arketa. It's vital to our daily operations," says Rachel Hirsch, Co-Founder of Empowered Yoga Studio. "The team at Arketa is what makes it so magical. Everyone really does care about our business and wants the experience to be strong and better. They are constantly evolving their services and their products to make sure that that's the case."
What will change? We're investing deeply in the technology that will define the next chapter of wellness business management. If you want to be part of our journey, we’re hiring across all teams to support what’s next. Check out our Careers Page to learn more.
Building your AI-powered staff multiplier
The wellness industry is booming—projected to reach $80 billion by 2029—but too many studio owners are still buried in administrative tasks instead of focusing on what they do best: transforming lives through movement and community.
That's why we're expanding our AI features designed to be your ultimate staff multiplier. Imagine automated customer service that captures leads and answers questions while you sleep, intelligent scheduling that optimizes your class roster, and marketing tools that know exactly when to reach your clients. Our goal isn't to replace the human connection that makes your studio special—it's to free up your time so you can focus on building those personal relationships.
Beyond booking: your complete operating system
We started as booking software, but our vision has always been bigger. With this funding, we're accelerating our evolution into the complete operating system for wellness businesses. Whether you're managing class schedules, processing payments and payroll, engaging clients through your branded app, or analyzing your business performance, everything should work seamlessly together.
"I love using Arketa. It's well rounded—scheduling is there, you can upload videos, see studio income," shares Alli from In Flow. "I love it because of the response time, and the true hospitality. And the constant innovation. I feel like I'm always getting an email that something new is launching and that's really cool."
We're expanding into new markets and building the infrastructure that will help wellness businesses of all sizes—from solo instructors to multi-location studios—operate smarter and grow faster.
Reliability you can count on
As more studios trust us with their daily operations, we're investing heavily in platform reliability and performance. You shouldn't have to worry about whether your booking system will work during your busiest registration period or if payments will process smoothly during a flash sale.
Teresa from College Park Yoga puts it perfectly: "We only need to spend 30 minutes per month on 'IT' related things now that we're using Arketa. With our previous tool we were spending 10 hours per week."
Our commitment to the wellness community
To every studio owner who's trusted us with their business, every instructor who's recommended us to a friend, and every team member who's helped us understand what the industry really needs: thank you. You've shaped Arketa into what it is today.
We're not just building software—we're building the foundation that will help bring wellness to more people through thriving, profitable businesses. The wellness professionals who dedicate their lives to serving others deserve tools that work as hard as they do.
This is just the beginning. We're excited to show you what we're building next.
