California-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) startup CaptainPanel has raised $1.2 million in seed funding from Kuwait’s Faith Capital and 500 Startups (Mena), Faith Capital and 500 Startups announced in a joint statement today.
A big number of water activity businesses still rely on pen and paper to manage their bookings which requires a lot of time and effort on the operations side. CaptainPanel helps them take all of this online through its booking software and different other services which also include revamping the websites of these businesses and working with them on their digital marketing.
Abdullah Shalabi, the Co-Founder and CEO, of CaptainPanel, commenting on the occasion, said, “CaptainPanel is a growth partner for water sports companies. We provide business with in-person support, guidance and a tailored-made software which engages customers and manages the complex transactions typical of this industry. Both our approach and our software is supportive, simple and growth-focused. We understand the needs of this industry and have built our business to help yours – regardless of size.”
Abdulaziz Al Loughani, Managing Partner at Faith Capital, said, “FishFishMe and CaptainPanel are quickly becoming indispensable software platforms for anyone operating a watersports business in the Western United States and Mexico. As the tourism and hospitality sector continues to adopt technical solutions to age-old problems, small business owners reliant on the vibrancy of this sector will no longer fear the loss of value and opportunity caused by a lack of innovation in this space.”
