No brainer- if you want to start or grow your business, it’s important to know the market you are targeting. 🎯 You need to understand the potential profit of your vertical, your competition and assess market opportunities. 🐾 Most of us use the TAM, SAM and SOM metrics (Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Addressable Market, and Serviceable Obtainable Market. 🤚🏻 But remember to be credible- one thing that certainly will drive investors away is unrealistic numbers! It's great to be bullish, investors want to invest in credible founders and have told us that unjustifiable multi-million (sometimes, billions!) forecasts turn them off! 💰 📈 In this Unleashed blog, we address some of the risky assumptions! We hope it helps! #pettech #unleashedblog #petinnovation #petcommunity https://lnkd.in/e8mU2ge7

The latest Unleashed Pet Tech Newsletter is out today! And with it, the OPPAWTUNITY, Pet tech's biggest bets 2nd podcast on Dog Longevity! 🐶 🐕 We all want our best furry friends to live as healthy and as long as possible. 63% of 2000 Americans surveyed said they would give up years of their own lives to extend their pet's life! 🫶 Listen to host Steph Bailey from Sifted and speakers talk about ➡️ the 14-year-long Purina LifeSpan study, which was the first to show the importance of keeping dogs in a lean body condition from puppyhood and throughout their lives. ➡️ A 9-year-long Purina study on old cats found that feeding them a specific blend of nutrients can extend their healthy lives. ➡️ the Dog Aging Project, the large-scale longitudinal study of aging in companion dogs to understand the most important factors that influence health and longevity in companion dogs. A citizen science project on dogs living with their owners in the real world. The Dog Aging Project team follows tens of thousands of companion dogs for 10 years or more in order to identify the biological, lifestyle and environmental factors that maximize healthy longevity. ➡️ Loyal, founded in 2020 and secured $33.5 million in Series B funding last July, are working on getting a drug FDA approved for healthy lifespan extension of dogs. 🐾 There are different strategies to a long, healthy life, and the most basic could be the right diet, nutrient adequate adapted to the physical activity of your dog and or maybe a longevity type of diet. That could make a difference! 🐾 Listen to the whole episode here https://lnkd.in/dvru3vA6 Thank you to our speakers- Nutrition Scientist Pascal Steiner of Purina and Expert, Biology of Aging Philipp Gut of Nestlé Research & Development; Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, CEO at Optispan, Inc., Affiliate Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington, and Co-Director of The Dog Aging Project and Celine Halioua, CEO at Loyal. 🔥and editors Sheri Smithey and Lizzie Parker Read the whole newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dySuf6yV #unleashedpodcast #unleashedpettech #pettechnewsletter #petinnovation #petlongevity #pethealth

PURINA und FERAGEN: Gemeinsam für die Tiergesundheit Die Verbesserung der Gesundheit von Haustieren ist uns bei PURINA ein zentrales Anliegen. Mit FERAGEN als Partner an unserer Seite können wir durch dessen Expertise auf dem Gebiet der Genetik noch näher mit Züchtern, Veterinären und Tierhaltern zusammenarbeiten, und neue Möglichkeiten erschließen, die Gesundheit ihrer Tiere zu verbessern. Unsere Zusammenarbeit begann bereits 2022 im Rahmen des „UNLEASHED“-Accelerator-Programms, Europas erstem Förderprogramm für Start-ups in der Heimtierbranche, wo FERAGEN sich gegen 150 Mitbewerber durchsetzte. In intensiven Gesprächen teilten wir unsere Visionen für die Tiergesundheit und haben nun beschlossen, über die ursprünglichen Ziele hinaus zu kooperieren. Wir freuen uns auf ein spannendes Jahr 2025 mit viel Potenzial für die Zukunft unserer geliebten Vierbeiner. #PurinaPetcareEurope #feragen #tiergesundheit Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe Anja Geretschläger Michael Geretschläger Thomas Heinzmann Marius Baumeister Melanie Brelöhr

This is the result of the Unleashed Acceleration Programme, Dogami in our Class of 2023. 🧡 Kristofer Dayne Penseyres, CEO of Dogami said, “We spent the whole Unleashed by Purina programme doing case studies on both our audience and their audience. We discovered that 50% of our audience were actually pet owners. And 30% of Purina’s audience in France were gamers as well. So there was an immediate match”.
