opus1.io, an end-to-end practice management platform for lesson and class-based performing arts businesses, announced a strategic investment from Five Elms Capital, a leading software investment firm. This funding will support further investment in opus1.io’s platform, which helps performing arts professionals operate and grow their businesses.
opus1’s arts platform is built with a single goal in mind: to provide performing arts schools with the tools needed to spend less time in their business and more time on their business. And the platform helps customers seamlessly solve complex issues related to scheduling, booking, staffing, marketing, invoicing, and payments – all in one easy-to-use, modern platform.
Founder and CEO Sam Lellouche is committed to building a best-in-class technology that solves the daily operational shortcomings he experienced in his own music school.
With 175,000+ monthly users worldwide, opus1.io has a fast-growing customer base that serves performing arts schools of all sizes.
With features like advanced reputation management and sales pipeline, business owners can track, predict, and prepare for virtually anything, including students at risk of cancellation long before it happens. And opus1.io plus has elaborate marketing capabilities that put the knowledge and experience of a Chief Marketing Officer in the hands of every studio owner.
opus1.io also recently launched opus1.io plus, a growth solution for studios that are primed for accelerated expansion.
