Dutch, a virtual veterinary care platform based in San Francisco, has closed on a $20 million funding round.
With the Series A round, the company has now raised $25 million in all, TechCrunch reports. The new round was led by Eclipse Ventures and Forerunner Ventures.
Dutch connects pet owners with licensed veterinarians via video chat, with plans starting at $15 a month. It has assisted 25,000 pets since launching in January 2021.
A key use of the funding will be to “to invest in its intellectual property and grow its electronic medical records database to make it easier for pet owners to collect and share their pets’ data and prescriptions,” TechCrunch reports. Other uses will include hiring additional employees and expanding its veterinary and pharmacy networks.
The company was started by Hims co-founder Joe Spector and Coastal Animal Hospital Dr. Brian Evans.
