Good Dog
Good Dog is a New York-based online marketplace that helps people find and bring home a healthy dog from a screened, responsible breeder, shelter, or rescue. Founded in 2017 by Josh Wais and Lauren McDevitt, the company built the first set of breed-by-breed, expert-backed standards for responsible breeding and health testing, then layered on secure on-platform payments, buyer protection, arranged transport, and a lifelong care team of veterinarians and behaviorists. It aims to bring transparency and accountability to a fragmented, opaque, and scam-prone process of getting a dog.
Petlibro
Petlibro is a design-led pet technology company that builds smart, app-connected devices for feeding, hydration, monitoring and litter care. Founded in 2019 by York Wu and operated by DesignLibro Inc. out of San Jose, California, the brand pairs minimalist industrial design with features like RFID multi-pet recognition, AI cameras and health-insight tracking. It has grown into North America's leading brand in smart pet feeding and watering, selling largely direct-to-consumer and through Amazon, with retail placement at PetSmart, backed by roughly $24 million in venture funding.
