Participated · Equity · Dec 2015
Vanitee operates a marketplace that connects beauty practitioners with customers for services such as manicures, makeup and hair, enabling professionals to take bookings and offer at-home or independent services. The company officially launched in Singapore in May and has served nearly 5,000 customers, with over 550 independent beauty professionals on the platform and more than 1,000 applicants undergoing verification. Vanitee emerged from the team behind Vanity Trove and an idea developed at a PayPal hackathon; Douglas Gan is a co-founder. The startup is adding product features including an in-service CRM tool for professionals. It is pursuing regional expansion, targeting Malaysia in Q1 2016 and planning moves into Japan (leveraging investor @cosme), Korea (via the acquired Blucarrott team), and potentially Hong Kong and Taiwan. Vanitee has prioritized corporate strategic investors over traditional VCs to tap regional expertise.
