Leap Venture Studio Welcomes Fourth Cohort of Innovative Pet Care Startups
Summary
The startups — coming from five different countries — were chosen for their unique products and services that are forging new trails in the $100 billion pet care industry. In a positive and ironic twist, the pandemic caused the implementation of travel restrictions, thereby allowing Leap to attract an even more diverse and international set of startup founders. Each company will work with a curated team of R/GA strategists, technologists, designers, and consultants and receive mentorship from executives at Kinship and Michelson Found Animals. The goal of the program is for each company to enhance their business plans, prepare for fundraising milestones, and establish minimum viable brands. The Leap Venture Studio will culminate in an online pitch event where the companies will present to investors, industry leaders, and the startup community in May.
