The ER Vet Who Turned a Paper Treatment Sheet Into Veterinary Medicine's Operating System
Instinct Science started with one emergency veterinarian's annoyance at paper treatment sheets. Nine years, two acquisitions, and more than 360,000 veterinary users later, it is attempting something larger: turning the medical record from a filing cabinet into a clinical co-pilot.
Encore Vet Group
Encore Vet Group is a Saratoga Springs, New York-based community of veterinary hospitals founded in 2018 by Ted Sprinkle, DVM, Lance Sprinkle, and Bo Iler. Rather than running a top-down corporate chain, Encore acquires established community and legacy veterinary practices and then hands the day-to-day medicine and culture back to the local teams while layering on business support, leadership training, and mental-health resources. Backed by private-equity firm North Castle Partners, the group has grown to roughly 60 hospitals and around 1,900-2,200 team members, and it operates education platforms like Encore Performance Academy and the MentorCore virtual mentorship program for new graduates.
