Fresha's Recognition and Growth

Fresha, the top-rated AI-powered booking platform for beauty and wellness, has been named among VivaTech's Top 100 Rising European Startups. This highly selective ranking recognizes the most promising and fastest-scaling technology companies across Europe. Fresha's inclusion in the list is a testament to its strong commercial performance, sustained high growth, and the ability to transform the beauty and wellness industry.

Company Performance and Impact

Selected in partnership with leading global investment firms, Fresha joins a cohort of Europe's most innovative technology companies. Notably, Fresha is the only beauty and wellness booking platform included in this year's Top 100. By combining marketplace demand, real-time booking infrastructure, and embedded payments into a unified operating system, Fresha continues to strengthen its position at the center of the global selfcare economy.

Marketplace Infrastructure Evolution

The recognition aligns with a broader structural shift reported by The Wall Street Journal, indicating that service-based businesses now account for over 50% of retail leasing for the first time. As consumer spending moves from goods to experiences, platforms like Fresha are becoming increasingly critical, providing the necessary infrastructure to power and scale service-led businesses.

Global Reach and Scalability

Today, Fresha supports over 140,000 beauty and wellness businesses globally and facilitates more than 35 million appointments per month. Since January 2021, Fresha has achieved +80% compound annualized growth across monetization and partners, significantly outperforming typical SaaS benchmarks. This momentum reinforces Fresha's position as a high-performance scale-up within Europe and the global technology ecosystem.

Company Outlook and Future

William Zeqiri, Founder & CEO of Fresha, commented on the recognition:

'We're seeing a structural shift in how service-based businesses operate, where discovery, booking, and payments are no longer separate steps but part of a single, connected experience. Fresha sits at the center of that shift, helping businesses not just manage operations but grow through real-time demand. Being recognized by VivaTech is a strong validation of the platform we've built and the role we play in the evolving selfcare economy. As this shift continues, platforms that can unify operations and acquisition will define the next generation of service-based businesses.'

With over 140 million dollars in revenue run rate and growing at over 60% year-on-year, Fresha is well-positioned to continue its expansion and strengthen its role as the operating layer for beauty, wellness, and selfcare businesses worldwide.
