A Big Leap for Luxe Software

 

New York-based Luxe Software, a cloud-based operating system provider for jewelry stores, has successfully raised $2 million in seed funding. The company made the announcement on Tuesday, signaling a major step in its mission to modernize the jewelry retail industry with innovative technology.

 

Investment and Expansion Plans

The funding round was led by Bienville Capital Management, a prominent investment firm known for backing innovative tech ventures. Luxe Software plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate product development and expand its reach within the jewelry sector. The company’s software suite integrates multiple essential tools for jewelry retailers, including point-of-sale (POS) systems, customer relationship management (CRM), analytics, communication, and inventory management.

With this investment, Luxe Software aims to refine its technology, enhance user experience, and help jewelry businesses streamline operations efficiently.

 

New Leadership: Val Katayev Takes the Helm as CEO

Alongside the funding announcement, Luxe Software introduced Val Katayev as its new CEO. Katayev, a well-known entrepreneur in the jewelry and digital marketing industries, will also join Luxe’s board of directors.

Katayev is no stranger to the jewelry sector. He is the founder and CEO of Jocalio Group, a data-driven jewelry manufacturing company focused on leveraging technology to enhance jewelry design and production. Despite his new role at Luxe Software, he will continue to lead Jocalio, bringing his industry expertise to both ventures.

Beyond the jewelry industry, Katayev has an impressive background in digital marketing. He previously founded two successful companies, ToneMedia and ToneFuse, both of which specialized in marketing technology and were later acquired by Lagardère Group, a multinational media conglomerate. His experience in scaling tech-driven businesses is expected to play a crucial role in Luxe Software’s growth strategy.

 

The Vision Behind Luxe Software

Luxe Software was founded last year by Amiraj Dhawan, a former engineer at DoorDash  and Yelp. With his strong background in software engineering, Dhawan set out to create a cloud-based solution tailored specifically for jewelry retailers.

Understanding the unique challenges jewelry stores face—such as managing high-value inventory, maintaining customer relationships, and optimizing sales processes—Dhawan designed Luxe Software to be an all-in-one platform that simplifies operations. His vision is to empower jewelry businesses with cutting-edge technology, helping them stay competitive in a rapidly evolving retail landscape.

As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Luxe Software, Dhawan continues to lead the company’s technological innovation, ensuring that the platform remains at the forefront of the industry.

 

The Future of Luxe Software

With fresh funding, a seasoned CEO, and a solid technology foundation, Luxe Software is poised to make a significant impact on the jewelry industry. The company’s cloud-based solutions offer jewelry retailers the tools they need to optimize operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive sales growth.

As Luxe Software expands its market presence, it aims to redefine how jewelry businesses operate, proving that technology and tradition can seamlessly coexist in an industry known for its timeless elegance.
