FLiiP, an end-to-end fitness business management software, has announced that it has raised $3.2 million USD in seed funding led by Cultivation Capital, a St. Louis, Missouri-based venture capital firm, with participation from Boreal Ventures in Montreal. The funding will support FLiiP’s mission to empower gym owners and operators with simplicity and scalability, specifically designed for multi-location commercial gyms.

Empowering Gym Owners and Operators to Scale

FLiiP serves a wide range of fitness businesses, including commercial gyms, functional training facilities, boxing gyms, and martial arts studios, with a particular focus on mid-size organizations. The platform is purpose-built to address the needs of multi-location operations, providing tools to simplify management and improve member experiences.

“As a gym owner, I know how frustrating it can be to juggle disconnected tools, scale operations and adapt to evolving needs from gym members. More than ever, gym owners and operators face immense challenges navigating the complexities of scaling their businesses across multiple locations,” said David Bourbonnière, FLiiP’s Founder and CEO. “FLiiP is here to help ambitious fitness leaders build thriving businesses with a platform that’s as intuitive as it is powerful.”

A Strategic Path Forward

The $3.2M USD funding will accelerate FLiiP’s vision in three key areas:

• North American Expansion: With a strategic focus on the U.S., FLiiP will establish a stronger foothold in the world’s largest fitness market.
• Product Innovation: From enhancing member self-service tools to developing AI-powered analytics for smarter business decisions, FLiiP will continue to drive fitness tech innovation.
• Scaling Operations: Doubling the team over the next two years will allow FLiiP to support its growing global customer base.

Cultivation Capital’s General Partner Timothy Stern expressed confidence in FLiiP’s strategic direction, stating, “FLiiP is addressing critical gaps in fitness management with a platform that combines operational simplicity with the scalability needed for gyms. Their focus on helping multi-location gyms thrive sets them apart in a competitive market. We are excited to support FLiiP as they scale and bring their innovative approach to more fitness businesses worldwide.”
