Pawsible Ventures Launches Pet Health Incubator With Global Advisory Board to Capture the $270B Pet Economy

Backed by Victory Square Technologies, the venture platform opens applications and assembles a global advisory board to support founders building across the animal health ecosystem.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 10, 2026 /CNW/ - As innovation accelerates across the global pet economy, a new venture platform is emerging to support founders building the next generation of animal health companies. Pawsible Ventures today announced the launch of its Pet Health Incubator alongside their Board of Advisors, bringing together veterinarians, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to back founders across the animal health ecosystem.

The announcement arrives as the global pet care economy surpasses $270 billion annually and is projected to approach $500 billion by 2034, fueled by rising veterinary spending, longer pet lifespans, and the continued humanization of pets. Yet despite the scale of the opportunity, early-stage founders in pet health routinely navigate fragmented infrastructure: veterinary partnerships, regulatory complexity, capital access, and distribution, all without specialized support. Pawsible was built to close that gap.

A Venture Platform Built for Animal Health Innovation

Pawsible Ventures operates as both an incubator and venture studio, helping founders move from early concept to scalable company through a combination of capital, mentorship, veterinary expertise, and commercialization support. Unlike traditional accelerators, Pawsible works hands-on with founders to validate demand, develop products, navigate regulatory pathways, and accelerate go-to-market.

The platform launched in 2025 with a $10 million Fund I and focuses on innovation across key segments of the pet health ecosystem:

• Veterinary diagnostics
• Pet health technologies
• Digital veterinary care platforms
• Therapeutics and biologics
• Insurance and financial services for pet owners
• Preventive wellness solutions

"After speaking with more than 300 founders across the pet and animal health ecosystem, the pattern became very clear," said Alex Chieng, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Pawsible Ventures. "Pet health is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, yet early-stage founders often lack access to the specialized support needed to move from concept to company. Pawsible provides the infrastructure, capital, expertise, and partnerships this category has been missing."

Strong Global Founder Pipeline

Over the past year, Pawsible has engaged with more than 300 startups globally, identifying a growing wave of founders building innovative solutions in veterinary diagnostics, AI-powered pet health tools, preventive care platforms, therapeutics, insurance, and digital tools for veterinary practices.

The inaugural cohort will include five to seven companies, selected for structured programming, mentorship from industry leaders, and direct access to veterinary professionals, investors, and commercialization partners. The first cohort is designed as the foundation for a broader platform, one intended to repeatedly launch and scale companies across the global pet health ecosystem.

To support the incubator and broader platform, Pawsible has assembled a Board of Advisors spanning veterinary medicine, entrepreneurship, and pet healthcare innovation. Advisors will participate in founder sessions, office hours, and strategic discussions throughout the program.
