Maison Sport, a London, UK-based company connecting independent ski and snowboard instructors with snowsports customers, raised £2.5M in Series A funding with a further £500K due to close within weeks.
The round was led by Alp Invest, with participation from Gareth Williams, Kevin Byrne and Lorenz Bogaert. In addition, Luke Steyn, a former Winter Olympian and property investor, joined Maison Sport’s board of directors, bringing expertise and strategic insights to support the company’s growth trajectory.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its European growth and enhance customer experience. This includes the roll out of AI and customer service robots which will use intelligent aggregated data capture.
Led by CEO Nick Robinson, Maison Sport connects ski instructors with people in need of their lessons via a technology platform. The solution features instructor reviews, only left by past customers, which enable new customers to make informed decisions about their ski or snowboard lessons.
Currently, the Maison Sport marketplace includes over 400 resorts and over 1,300 qualified instructors across France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
