Robotics in wellness is projected to become a multi-billion-dollar industry within the next decade -but scaling breakthrough technologies requires more than innovation alone. Which is why we're proud to announce our partnership with Aescape, the New York-based robotics startup behind the world’s first AI-powered massage tables. Together, we’re setting a new standard for how breakthrough technologies are adopted and scaled in the wellness and hospitality industries.
This collaboration is designed to remove financial friction for buyers - making it easier for fitness clubs, hotels, spas, and wellness operators across North America to embrace Aescape’s revolutionary robotics with flexible B2B payment solutions.
Breaking Barriers for Hardware Innovators
Robotics is unlike software. It requires significant upfront investment to design, build, ship, and install. These high costs often lead to long, complex B2B payment cycles that slow down adoption and restrict growth.
For innovators like Aescape - pioneering automation and luxury wellness - cash flow challenges and lengthy procurement processes should never stand in the way of progress. Yet too often, buyers face a stark choice: pay large sums upfront or endure prolonged internal approvals for capital expenditures.
With Two, those barriers disappear.
Flexible Payments for Futuristic Wellness
Through our partnership, Aescape can now give clients more accessible and flexible ways to acquire their cutting-edge robotic massage tables.
With Two, Aescape’s clients can:
- Lease robotic massage tables – transforming capital expenses into manageable operational costs.
- Pay in installments over up to 48 months – generating revenue from day one while keeping cash flow optimized.
Instead of being limited by heavy upfront costs, operators can confidently invest in premium wellness technology - and focus on growth, not financial strain.
Accelerating Growth for Aescape
This isn’t just about flexible payments for buyers. It’s about fueling Aescape’s growth.
With Two’s advanced B2B payments infrastructure, Aescape receives full, upfront payment on even multi-million-dollar orders - while buyers enjoy flexible net terms. That creates a ripple effect of benefits:
- Upfront funding for large orders.
- De-risked sales, as we take on the credit and fraud risk.
- Capital freed for manufacturing, R&D, and continued innovation in AI-driven robotics.
As our CEO, Andreas Mjelde, puts it:
“Robotics companies like Aescape are driving extraordinary advances in automation, but long and complex payment cycles can slow their progress. By covering suppliers upfront and offering flexible terms to buyers, we power innovators like Aescape to scale without being constrained by working capital -helping drive the adoption of robotics and AI in wellness.”
The U.S. Expansion Behind the Partnership
This partnership also represents a major milestone in Two’s U.S. expansion.
Fresh off our latest €13 funding round, we're scaling our footprint in the world’s largest B2B payments market - projected to reach $213 trillion by 2032. With Aescape as a partner, we’re embedding our platform into one of the most exciting verticals of this transformation: luxury wellness robotics.
Aescape’s massage tables are already featured in over 40 Equinox locations across the U.S., demonstrating the surging demand for AI-powered wellness experiences. By combining their groundbreaking innovation with our real-time underwriting, embedded financing, and instant net terms, we’re making it easier than ever for U.S. businesses to adopt futuristic technology without financial barriers.
As Shannon Kinney, Head of Partner Management at Aescape, shared:
“Two has proven to be a great strategic partner throughout our growth journey. What distinguishes them is their outstanding client service team, who consistently go above and beyond to understand our, and our partner’s, evolving needs. We're excited to deepen this partnership as we continue expanding into new markets and opportunities.”
Building the Future of B2B Commerce
The global robotics market is expected to surpass $218 billion by 2030, with wellness and hospitality among its fastest-growing sectors. By joining forces, Aescape and Two are creating the financial infrastructure that will accelerate this transformation.
This partnership is more than a collaboration - i’s a glimpse into the future of B2B commerce. One where innovation is never stalled by outdated payment cycles, and where businesses can scale globally with confidence.
At Two, we are incredibly proud to support Aescape as they scale in a new era of robotics in wellness. And as we expand across the U.S. and beyond, we remain committed to powering the next wave of B2B innovation.
