– Rippon Capital founder invests in innovative home-visit laser clinic model
– Laser On Tour aims to establish over 400 female-owned businesses in three years
– The platform combines advanced technology with entrepreneurial training and support
Rippon Capital and Monzo Bank founder Paul Rippon has expressed his support for Laser On Tour, a mobile laser clinic platform, after being impressed by its innovative business model and the passion of its founders. With plans to expand across the UK, Laser On Tour intends to create more than 400 female-owned businesses within the next three years.
Paul Rippon, recognized for his experience in building high-growth technology ventures, was particularly struck by founder Neda Namin’s energy and determination. After multiple discussions with Namin and co-founder Sacha Bright, he was convinced of the potential impact Laser On Tour could have on empowering women to become successful entrepreneurs.
“Having met founder Neda Namin and co-founder Sacha Bright several times, Paul was particularly struck by Neda’s energy, ambition, and determination to build the business at scale,” Paul Rippon said. “I came away from our early meetings incredibly impressed by what they are trying to build.”
Laser On Tour is transforming the conventional laser treatment model by offering services directly in clients’ homes, accommodating changing consumer preferences for convenience. The platform not only supplies portable laser technology but also provides specialized training, AI-driven client acquisition, marketing support, compliance assistance, and clinical governance, enabling practitioners to cultivate their own businesses without the substantial risk associated with traditional clinics.
“Neda blew me away,” Rippon continued. “Most of my investing experience has been in fintech, but ultimately I back people. Great founders spot opportunities that other people don’t see and then have the drive to make them happen.”
Rippon added that the investment aligns with his mission to support exceptional entrepreneurs seeking to establish category-defining businesses. While maintaining a focus on fintech through Rippon Capital, he recognizes that groundbreaking entrepreneurs can emerge from diverse sectors.
“Rippon Capital will remain heavily focused on fintech, but I’ve never believed great entrepreneurs only exist in one sector,” he stated. “When you meet exceptional founders doing something genuinely different, you pay attention. Laser On Tour certainly got mine.”
Neda Namin, the founder of Laser On Tour, acknowledged the significance of Rippon’s backing for their initiative. “Having Paul and Debbie believe in what we’re building means a huge amount to me,” she said. “From the beginning, our ambition has been much bigger than laser hair removal. We want to create an opportunity for women to build successful, independent businesses with the technology, training, and support behind them to succeed.”
Co-founder Sacha Bright reiterated the dual nature of their business model as both a commercial opportunity and a platform for entrepreneurship. “Paul immediately understood that Laser On Tour is both a commercial opportunity and a platform for creating entrepreneurs,” he said. “We’re already exploring how fintech innovation could make it easier for future entrepreneurs to access the funding they need to start and grow a Laser On Tour business.”
Laser On Tour’s commitment to creating female entrepreneurs signals a noteworthy trend within the landscape of professional services, where convenience and accessibility are increasingly prioritized. Through their innovative approach and strategic support, they are positioned to make a positive impact on women’s entrepreneurial journeys across the UK.
