We shared some big news today over on the VetVerifi ?? page. This is a post about the people that helped us get here and continue to build this VV future with us. Building a startup is hard stuff. And it requires so many different folks to make this puzzle come together and start to move. "You cannot achieve greatness without the greatness of others" rings true. Our team is absolutely world class. Casey, Conor, Kayla, Justin, Kristen, Chris, and Tim - it is such a privilege to be your teammate. In awe of the way each of you leans in to build VV, brick by brick. Thank you for your passion, your hustle, and your pursuit of excellence. ???? In the early days, you need some customers to take a bet on you before you've really figured it out. They give you honest feedback, they bust your hypothesis, and they are foundational to your journey. Amazing groups like Skiptown, K9 Activity Club, Groom Club, Snodgrass Veterinary Medical Center and many, many more. Thank you. ?? And along the way, you meet folks that weave their way into the very fabric of the story. Some as investors, some as partners, some as coaches, some as friends. The list is long. Jonathan, Julie, Pravina, Arch Grants, Leap Venture Studio & Academy & co, Acklen Avenue & friends, Mike, and so many more. We simply would not be here without you. And what a chapter we have in front of us. Incredibly grateful to have the backing of Las Olas Venture Capital & Mark Volchek (and Scotty!), Roo Capital (+ Nate and Spencer), and Market Square Ventures (+ John and Brandon) to power the next. Tim Ridgway and Chris Lynn - an absolute honor to be your teammate. Cheers, gents. ?? Onward (and back to work). ????
