Fluffy raises $450k

Pet care startup Fluffy has closed a $450k pre-seed round led by QVentures and Techstars.

Founded in 2021, the London-based startup combines pet insurance, dog training, and online access to vets. Pet insurance is set to launch during the month of February and it will be backed by “one of the world’s largest insurers.”

Fluffy claims that it currently has a community of over 20k pet parents.

“We’re thrilled to be able to bring our vision of more accessible and comprehensive pet care to life. Our goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by taking the financial burden off their shoulders in case of any medical emergency their beloved pets may have, while also supporting them with their day-to-day pet parent responsibilities. We believe this funding round will help us achieve that goal, and we’re excited to continue growing our product.” – Pavel Gertsberg, CEO of Fluffy.

“Fluffy is aiming to redefine how pet care works, ensuring that not only do the customers save money but that they also become better pet parents in the process. Since meeting Pavel and German, we’ve been impressed by the rate at which they’ve progressed Fluffy, and having now led their pre-seed round are even more excited to see what the future holds!” – Harveer Bharaj, principal at QVentures.
