Inspired led a $15m Series A round in Arketa.

Inspired, a challenger provider of customer-focused financial solutions to SMEs, led a $15m Series A round in Arketa, a platform designed to run and grow modern fitness businesses - from individual instructors to multi-location studios, with participation from First Round Capital, and YCombinator. “As a certified yoga instructor, I witnessed firsthand how outdated technology frustrated fitness studios, alienating customers and stunting growth by failing to meet modern demands. We founded Arketa to equip these professionals with cutting-edge tools to expand their reach, thrive, and deliver the personalized, community-focused experiences today’s fitness enthusiasts seek,” Rachel Lea Fishman, Arketa Co-founder and CEO.
