Carbon footprint reduction and a mobile app for animal health. The idea of finding a connection between them was a bit unexpected for me. And the answer was even more unexpected.
Veeeet is looking for hashtag#preseed investment. I interact with a lot of funds, accelerators and hashtag#angelinvestors on a daily basis. And it’s great that during the communication process, questions arise that allow us to look at our startup from an unexpected point of view. How does Veeeet contribute to a sustainable economy? How do we contribute to reducing the carbon footprint? Let’s try to find out.
One of the most important benefits of Veeeet is that our mobile app helps pets and their parents lead a healthy lifestyle. And if you stay healthy, you and your pet will need to visit the doctor less often. This logic was the basis for evaluating Veeeet’s contribution to reducing the carbon footprint.
There are only about one billion pets in the world. Adult pets visit the vet once a year on average, and babies and veterans visit the vet much more often. It can be roughly estimated that if Veeeet reaches global acceptance, the number of veterinary visits for pets will be reduced by 500 million per year.
What is a vet visit? Most likely, you will drive your pet to the vet. It is unlikely that the vet clinic is very close. Let’s say the road there and back is 5 kilometers. By averaging data from different sources, the greenhouse gas emissions per kilometer can be estimated at 120 grams.
So, a rough estimate of Veeeet’s potential contribution to a sustainable economy (did I mention enough that this is a very rough number?) is a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by (500,000,000 * 5 * 120) / 1,000,000 = 300,000 tons per year.
I did not expect the result to be that significant. It is a very, very impressive number. Now we have another important incentive to make Veeeet a success.

Feedough is a startup communication platform that is among the top 20 in the world. They recently published a big article about Veeeet and an interview with Vadim Gusakov. He is one of the founders of Veeeet and deals with mobile app development and business development.
We are grateful to Aashish Pahwa for giving us the opportunity to talk about our ideas.
For all of us — the founders of Veeeet, our friends and loved ones — pets are an important part of life, members of the family. That is why we strive to create a product that is really necessary and useful for pet parents. We use our experience and knowledge to make Veeeet even better.

Attracting investment takes time. And time is a startup’s most important resource. You always want to improve the MVP a little bit more. So when to start raising money is a very important question. DropBox raised its first money without even having a working prototype, just for the idea. A good example of success or a good example of survivorship bias?
The problem is that in most cases, the opinion of the founders is going to be biased. We love our project too much to evaluate it objectively. That is why an independent outside opinion is important.
Veeeet tested several online tools to assess the investment readiness of a startup. Focused For Business turned out to be the most useful for us. Its advantages are attention to detail and online seminars where you can communicate online with other startups that are also attracting investment. I would like to thank Hatty Fawcett, the host of this seminar.
Veeeet’s final score on the investment readiness test is 75%. Quite a high number. And the Soft Launch, for which we are now actively preparing, will help to improve it.
