David Servodidio | Co-Founder, VetVerifi
Vet clinics, groomers, boarding facilities, apartments—all require vaccine records, yet none of them actually talk to each other. VetVerifi is building the infrastructure layer that fixes that broken system—and it’s turning a daily pet-parent headache into a venture-backed category.
David Servodidio is one of the co-founders of VetVerifi, a pet health technology company building the infrastructure that connects veterinary vaccine records to the places pets go—boarding, grooming, housing, short-term rentals, and beyond.
In this interview, David breaks down how a frustrating real-world problem turned into a venture-backed startup, what interoperability in pet healthcare is still missing, and how VetVerifi is positioning itself at the center of an increasingly connected pet ecosystem.
In one paragraph or less, explain VetVerifi.
VetVerifi is a technology company that connects your pet’s vaccine records to the places you need to go, securely, setting the standard for pet care compliance as people continue to live active, fun-filled lives with their pets.

Alexandru Bacita | Co-Founder & COO, The Cat Health Company
Cats are living longer, but the drugs for age-related disease have not kept pace. The Cat Health Company, a clinical-stage biotech, has three drugs in trials and 11 more preclinical candidates, and has out-licensed its first therapeutic. Co-founder and COO Alexandru Bacita explains why cats compress the drug-development loop, how the company targets muscle loss and kidney disease first, and why the route to longevity runs through veterinarians and pharma partners.
Elias Weiss Friedman | Founder, The Dogist Company
Elias Weiss Friedman spent a decade turning street photography into The Dogist, one of the largest dog-focused audiences online. Now he's testing whether that trust extends to physical products, starting with Vitality, a vet-formulated antioxidant chew built with Dr. Angela Rollins. He talks about the discipline of brand extension, the operational learning curve of a first physical product, and what a decade of stopping strangers on the street taught him about people, not just dogs.
Sarah McLean | Co-Founder & CEO, Big Damn Dog Co.
A joint supplement label that stopped at 60 pounds sent Sarah McLean looking for a product that did not exist. Big Damn Dog Co. is the bootstrapped answer: giant-breed formulations, dosing built for 120-pound dogs, and a customer list the founders still call by phone. Six months after launch, its Gravy Blend already accounts for roughly 40% of joint supplement sales.
