“It kept striking us as bizarre that other service-based industries like transportation and food were being made more efficient via software, while the massage industry remained stuck in the 90s.” This problem is what led Akaash Achreja, together with his childhood friend Milan Thakor, to start Unwind Me – where they’re simplifying the entire process of booking and receiving a massage.

Booking takes just minutes, after which Unwind Me handles the rest: their licensed and personally vetted massage therapists come straight to your door, bring all necessary supplies (including a massage table), and it’s all for a price that’s less than most day spas. Customers aren’t the only ones who benefit – massage therapists on Unwind Me are earning 2-3x industry average and have the flexibility to set their own schedules.
