The $750 Million Bet on Everything Around the Barber Chair
SQUIRE stopped trying to be OpenTable for haircuts and learned to run the whole shop. A decade later, its software sits between the calendar, the card reader, the barber, and the customer.
10x Dental
10x Dental is a Y Combinator (W25) startup that builds AI sales teams for dental practices. It plugs into a practice's patient database, finds overdue recalls, lapsed patients, and unscheduled treatment plans, then calls and texts those patients automatically to book them back into the chair - recovering revenue that would otherwise slip through the cracks.
StyleSeat

Founded in San Francisco in 2011 by Melody McCloskey and Dan Levine, it bundles booking, payments, marketing, and a client database into a single tool for independent pros, while giving consumers a discovery and reservation engine for local services.
