Maison Sport, a London-based company, has recently secured £2.5M in Series A funding to further expand its services. The company connects independent ski and snowboard instructors with snowsport enthusiasts, providing a platform for easy and convenient lessons. The funding round was led by Alp Invest, with notable participation from Gareth Williams, Kevin Byrne, and Lorenz Bogaert. Maison Sport also gained a valuable addition to its board of directors in the form of Luke Steyn, a former Winter Olympian and property investor.
The influx of capital will be used to fuel Maison Sport's growth in the European market and improve its customer experience.
One key aspect of their expansion plans involves the implementation of artificial intelligence and customer service robots, which will utilize advanced data gathering techniques. By leveraging intelligent aggregated data capture, Maison Sport aims to enhance their platform and provide even greater value to its users.
Under the leadership of CEO Nick Robinson, Maison Sport's platform currently boasts over 1,300 qualified instructors and encompasses more than 400 resorts across France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. This extensive network allows snowsport enthusiasts to easily find and connect with instructors that suit their specific needs. The platform's distinguishing feature is the inclusion of instructor reviews, left by previous customers, which enable new users to make informed decisions about their ski or snowboard lessons.
