Digitail raises seed funding to bring veterinary practices up to digital speed

It’s a small round of financing but a fascinating premise: Digitail has raised €220,000 in seed funding to boost the development of its software for veterinary practices and a ‘digital health card’ for pets. The funding round comes from accelerator Fast Track Malmo (one of the co-founders, Ruxandra Pui, is based in the Swedish city), The Nordic Web Ventures and angel investors like Christian Jantzen from Futuristic, Hampus Jakobsson, Erik Byrenius, Jonas Vig (CEO of MinDoktor) and Emil Sjödin (Refined). Digitail, which has a remote team working from Romania, Sweden, Germany and Spain, is building a practice management system for veterinarians to help clinics increase efficiency and connect them to pet owners and suppliers. Also interesting is Digitail’s plan to create what it refers to as a ‘digital health card’ that aims to enable pet owners to communicate more efficiently with their vets thanks to centralised health records, personalised products and insurance plan recommendations, and so on. However, pet parents still keep health records on paper, get medical information from Google and connect with the vet only when they physically go there.
