Let me tell you something about getting into the pet tech game: it’s like standing at two giant doors labelled Mars and Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe. These are the big bosses, the behemoths of the pet world—dominating the industry from pet food to pet tech. Here's the kicker: Dosty Petcare, our little superstar, just strutted onto the scene on February 23, 2024, and guess what? Mars and Purina already know our name! We recently won first place at the Connect: Pet Tech event, which was kicked off by Rachel Sheppard, Director of Ventures at Mars Petcare. And we didn't just stop there. We rolled into Stockholm for the UNLEASHED by Purina meet-up. Now, that's some first-class networking with the whole European pet tech community. I make it a point never to miss Mars or Purina events. If I can’t be there in person, you bet I’m online, soaking it all in. These events are like getting a VIP pass to the industry's inner workings. You see what's hot, what's not, and where the buzz is. I mean, witnessing Leap Venture Studio & Academy Demo Day last week was like watching the future unfold as founders pitched their exceptional solutions ranging from pet food to pet orthopedics. And, oh boy, Scooch and GekkoVet - those guys are rocking AI-powered pet care, just like us at Dosty. It's inspiring to see the super app conversation heating up. Founders of all-in-one pet solutions are finally getting their voices heard at all the big events. Great pitches and fantastic demo day - its cool to see Dosty being right in the thick of it! I’m telling you, in the next couple of years, complete pet care solutions are going to blow up. Demand is skyrocketing, and we're riding that wave. #PetSuperApps #Dosty #Leap #Mars #Purina #Unleashed

Want It, Work for It, Win It. Think about this: Once you really know what you want to do, the real work begins. It's not just about looking busy, it's about putting in the hard work, no matter how tough, as long as you're clear about your goal, your ultimate desire. After putting in the needed effort, you might just find yourself winning in whatever you're doing. It all starts with a strong desire, one you can almost touch, that takes over your mind and heart. Like this one time, a group of people really wanted to change things. They wanted to create something big, something that would work everywhere, something that can really make a difference. Dosty is still being developed. We can't know for sure if everything will go down south, or things will take us all the way north, but what we do know is that Dosty is already being used by more than 2,000 pet owners around the world (as of April 8). That might not seem like a lot, considering how big the market is, but it's a good sign that we're doing something right. We've come a long way, putting in a lot of work and dedication, mind is sharp and vision is clear. Honestly, we don't know if we'll win in the end, but we're definitely working hard to make it happen. Dosty Petcare #Dosty #Inhomediagnostics #petcare
