Against Odds, FitSprint CEO Raises Seed Funding for Forward Thinking UK Startup
LONDON, August 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Raising high the banner of support for women in business, FitSprint CEO and sole founder, Maria Ferrer Iori has received seed funding to revolutionise how fitness instructors grow their businesses.
So what were the odds? Could a sole female founder of a company, also six months pregnant with twins, get seed funding for her tech business? Most say no, not so much. But, Maria Ferrer Iori, the CEO of FitSprint, is now the proud recipient of £225,000 in funding from The Zag Seed Fund, the investment vehicle of Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) and angel investor Simon Wolanksi - who have given their resounding support for women in tech. Believing Ferrer Iori's fitness business software would pay big dividends for themselves as well as UK innovation as a whole, they joined forces. With partners in tow, the mum-to- be/entrepreneur blazes a new trail so fitness instructors can reach, encourage, and monetise their client base digitally.
Ferrer Iori said of the funding effort, "Obviously fundraising while pregnant with twins was a little intimidating but ultimately I believe in FitSprint and London startups like it that are doing their part to create and integrate new ideas into the mainstream."
A Zumba and Yoga Instructor herself, Ferrer Iori created FitSprint because she believes strongly in empowering fitness instructors. Set to launch in January 2018, the platform allows fitness, dance, yoga, and Pilates instructors, personal trainers, and sports coaches to publish a website quickly, easily and affordably for nominal monthly fee. There they can showcase their work and take bookings online. FitSprint also provide the marketing and management tools instructors need to run a business successfully in real-time.
