The investment will help Skimmer further enhance its product suite while continuing to deliver a seamless customer experience to pool service businesses of all sizes.
“Our purpose at Skimmer has always been to help our customers build great businesses,” says Jack Nelson, CEO of Skimmer. “We will be able to expand our technology and team even more rapidly with this investment from Mainsail, which has deep experience helping software businesses grow. This is a huge win for our customers, employees, and the entire industry.”

It is used by more than 29,000 pool professionals to help them save time, deliver a seamless customer experience, and grow their businesses.
“Skimmer has established itself as a leading business management solution for pool service professionals by building a great product and team of highly talented and passionate people,” says Gavin Turner, co-founder and Managing Partner at Mainsail. “We’re excited to support Jack and the Skimmer team as they continue to innovate on their feature-rich platform and help customers scale efficiently from start-up pool pros to dominant players in their markets.”
Peter Freeland and Shane Skiffington of Unbundled Capital will remain on the Board of Directors, and as part of this investment, will be joined by Gavin Turner and Anthony Hayes of Mainsail Partners.
