Tailster, founded in 2014, is a UK-based platform that revolutionizes pet care by integrating technology into the E-Commerce and Mobile industries. Their slogan, "Service for online pet boarding and walking," perfectly encapsulates their mission to ease the lives of pet owners.
The platform connects pet owners with vetted and insured service providers, including dog walkers, boarders, and sitters. Key features include a unique GPS tracking app for monitoring dog walks, comprehensive insurance covering emergency vet fees, up to £5m in public liability, and regular photo updates for peace of mind. This user-centric approach ensures that pet owners can rely on Tailster for personalized and secure pet care while away.
The company's last funding was a Seed Round on 08 March 2015, backed by investors EC1 Capital, Valuta Capital Partners, and Emre Kurttepeli. As Tailster operates at the intersection of growing pet ownership and digital convenience, it presents a promising opportunity for venture capitalists looking to invest in transforming traditional services into tech-enabled solutions.
