Pawsible Ventures announced the launch of a pet health incubator designed to support early-stage companies building across the animal health ecosystem, as the global pet care market surpasses $270 billion annually and is projected to approach $500 billion by 2034.
The Vancouver-based venture platform, backed by Victory Square Technologies, is positioning itself as a specialized incubator and venture studio to help founders navigate the fragmented infrastructure surrounding veterinary innovation. The initiative is intended to address common challenges faced by early-stage startups in the sector, including regulatory hurdles, veterinary partnerships, capital access, and distribution.
Pawsible Ventures launched in 2025 with a $10 million Fund I and focuses on several areas of the pet health ecosystem, including veterinary diagnostics, pet health technologies, digital veterinary care platforms, therapeutics and biologics, insurance and financial services for pet owners, and preventive wellness solutions.
Unlike traditional accelerators, the company works closely with founders from early concept through commercialization. The platform provides support in validating demand, developing products, navigating regulatory pathways, and accelerating go-to-market strategies.
Over the past year, Pawsible Ventures has engaged with more than 300 startups globally, identifying growing activity among founders developing veterinary diagnostics, AI-driven pet health tools, preventive care platforms, therapeutics, insurance offerings, and digital tools for veterinary practices.
The inaugural incubator cohort will include five to seven companies. Selected startups will participate in structured programming and gain access to veterinary professionals, investors, and commercialization partners. The first cohort launches in March 2026.
To support the incubator and broader venture platform, Pawsible Ventures has assembled a global advisory board comprising veterinarians, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders in animal health and veterinary innovation. Members include Joseph Coury, Dr. William Thomas, Dr. Adam Little, Kimball Carr, Dr. Christina V. Tran, and Dr. Andrew Findlaytor, each bringing experience across veterinary medicine, entrepreneurship, digital health, and veterinary operations.
The incubator is supported by Victory Square Technologies, a publicly traded venture builder focused on launching companies across sectors including digital health, artificial intelligence, and healthcare infrastructure. Through the partnership, portfolio companies will gain access to operational support, capital markets expertise, and a broader technology ecosystem.
Applications for the first incubator cohort are now open to founders building companies in veterinary medicine, pet health technology, diagnostics, therapeutics, and digital veterinary care.
KEY QUOTES:
“After speaking with more than 300 founders across the pet and animal health ecosystem, the pattern became very clear. Pet health is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, yet early-stage founders often lack access to the specialized support needed to move from concept to company. Pawsible provides the infrastructure, capital, expertise, and partnerships this category has been missing.”
Alex Chieng, Co-Founder And Managing Partner, Pawsible Ventures
“Category-specific venture platforms are where we believe the next wave of durable value will be built. The most successful venture ecosystems begin with a focused community of founders, operators, and capital and evolve into platforms that repeatedly launch new companies. That is the long-term vision behind Pawsible.”
Shafin Diamond Tejani, Founder And CEO, Victory Square Technologies
