Pettech startup 'Peterpetter'(CEO Park Jun-ho), which operates a pet genetic testing service, has been finally selected for the Tips program of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) is a "private investment-led technology start-up support" program that intensively fosters start-up teams with technology items to lead the global market. Peterpetter, founded in June 2020, is a pet healthcare startup that provides customized health care guides to pets based on genetic testing, and has attracted investment in Free A this month.
Peterpetter's selection of tips was pushed by MY Social Company. Peterpetter was highly praised for the development of new inspection methods that solve existing problems, the specificity that there is no alternative technology, and the business feasibility in the pet industry. Through this selection of tips, the company plans to focus on developing new test solutions that can help pet health care and upgrading its business.
Peterpetter operates genetic testing services "Cattering" and "Dogma" for the health care of pets. It is a non-face-to-face home care service developed by researchers and veterinarians from Seoul National University, and guardians can easily collect and test the genes of pets at home by purchasing kits online. Through the test, you can receive a result report including the risk of developing genetic diseases in naturally born pets and a health care guide. Peterpetter's service can be tested for multiple genetic diseases at once, and can enjoy up to 94% cost savings compared to other testing institutions.
Peterpetter, which marks its third year this year, is achieving sales growth of more than 300% every year. Starting with the selection of childcare companies at the Jeju Creative Economy Innovation Center, Seoul National University Campus Town, and Jeju Free International City Development Center (JDC) Route 330, it has been selected as a representative healthcare company.
Peterpetter CEO Park Jun-ho said, "We will promote research and development and commercialization of new services through the selection of this TIPS program, and upgrade the service using pet genetic data."
Kang Shin-il, vice president of MY Social Company, said, "Peter Peter is a startup that can commercialize high-quality R&D at the same time," adding, "We will actively support technology commercialization through resource linkage of operators during the Tip business period."
