I started Workee during the Covid pandemic, inspired by my mom’s story. She was laid off from her hospital job in Ukraine, where she worked as a therapist, and decided to start her own online health coaching business. Watching her struggle to run a solo business — managing clients, bookings, payments, and admin — made me realize how difficult it is for independent professionals and small businesses to focus on what they do best while juggling dozens of tools. That’s how Workee was born: to help business owners automate their daily work and grow smarter with AI. After few iterations, we reached strong product-market fit among service businesses in the U.S. healthcare and wellness space — from dentists and medspas to wellness and beauty clinics. Today, Workee is the leading AI-powered sales and lead automation software for beauty and wellness businesses. We automate the entire sales funnel: capturing leads, booking clients, collecting payments, and re-engaging past customers — all in one place. We’ve raised over $2M in venture capital, run countless product tests, and learned through every failure. And we’re just getting started. 👉 Learn more or try Workee at https://workee.ai
