FirstVet launches in the US with €29.5 million funding
FirstVet, the company that provides pet-owners with on-demand video consultations from local, qualified veterinarians, has raised around €29.5 million to support its launch in the US.
The financing round was led by Mubadala Investment Company’s financial investment arm, Mubadala Capital, with participation from Cathay Innovation alongside existing backers, OMERS Ventures and Creandum. FirstVet has raised a total of around €55 million since being founded in 2016.
FirstVet is now launching its state-of-the-art video-based vet consultation service in the US – where it already has an operational team of 14 staff members – enabling pet owners in all 50 states to receive 24/7 expert vet advice and diagnoses for a variety of different animals, ranging from cats and dogs to horses and reptiles, all from their mobile devices.
