Josh Wais

Josh Wais is the co-founder and CEO of Good Dog, a New York-based marketplace that helps people find and get a dog from vetted breeders, shelters, and rescues. A Wharton graduate and early Jet.com operator, Wais built Good Dog with co-founder Lauren McDevitt after they hit a wall trying to find a puppy themselves and discovered how opaque and scam-prone the process was. The company applies expert-backed vetting standards to a fragmented, roughly $70-billion pet industry, and has raised over $18 million from investors including Felicis, BoxGroup, Slow Ventures, and the founders of Warby Parker and Harry's.
