SAN FRANCISCO, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- StyleSeat, the leading destination for booking beauty and wellness services, has been named as one of the top ten largest and fastest-growing consumer-facing marketplace startups and private companies on the a16z Marketplace 100 list for 2022.

StyleSeat is ranked number ten on the 2022 list, two spots up from its 2021 position, and is the only company in the beauty category ranked in the top 40.

"This recognition is a testament to the growing demand for StyleSeat's unique marketplace that powers independent beauty and grooming professionals to run and grow their businesses," said StyleSeat founder and CEO Melody McCloskey. "Recovering from the effects of the pandemic hasn't been easy, but in 2020, StyleSeat put over $15 million of revenue into the pockets of our community of small business owners. We continue to champion these entrepreneurs by using artificial intelligence and smart pricing to help them earn more. We're excited to continue to innovate in this area and are thrilled to be in the company of this year's a16z Marketplace 100 List."
