Egyptian beauty services booking platform secures six-figure seed funding

Glamera, an Egypt-based beauty services booking company, secured a six-figure seed investment from Saudi Arabia’s Dual Gate Investment Holding to expand its reach in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Co-founder and CEO, Mohamed Hassan said, ”The changes that coronavirus have made, became a great advantage for Glamera. The current circumstances have prompted users to realise the importance of pre-booking for all services including [the] beauty sector. [It also] raised awareness of the providers for joining the app to schedule their clients’ appointments through pre-booking.”

”We have a powerful team of the best technical developers and expert project managers, working continuously to improve the design of the application interface to suit users, in addition to coming up with [a] recent version of the application within days that will impress users,” added Omar Fathy, CTO of Glamera.

The startup, which was launched September 2019, has 100,000 users in addition to 600 providers in Egypt and another 120 in Riyadh till now and is covering Riyadh, Jeddah, Cairo, Alexandria and Erbil.
