MyTime

MyTime is an online appointment booking website, which launched to consumers in 2013.[1] MyTime allows consumers to view local businesses's availability, and then book and purchase their services online. The types of services offered on MyTime.com include health and beauty, medical and dental, sports and fitness, among others.[2] At launch, MyTime had more than 500,000 appointments available for booking.[3]

Background info

MyTime was founded by CEO Ethan Anderson. Prior to starting MyTime, Anderson co-founded Redbeacon and served as their CEO.[4] In 2010, Anderson was named on Business Insider's Silicon Valley 100 list.[5]

Business Model

MyTime is a searchable marketplace where users can find and book appointments.[6] Users can search by type of service, location, and preferred appointment date and time. MyTime displays available time slots from each business that has a profile on MyTime, and the user books and pays for the appointment online.

Investment

In February 2013, MyTime announced they had raised a seed round of $3M in funding.[7] The round was led by Mark Suster of Upfront Ventures (formerly known as GRP Partners), and also included investment by notable angel investors such as 500 Startups, Brian Lee, Jason Calacanis, and others.[8]
