About Petnest AI · 宠巢智能

The product is the moat.
Execution is the difference.

Five revenue rails, ~30 products, ten AI agents, one backbone — built for China, designed for export. We're rebuilding veterinary software with the practice, not at it.

Our thesis

Restore medical trust — one verified, explainable record.

Pet care doesn't need another platform — it needs a connected data layer. Petnest AI becomes the trusted reference layer, empowering vets and owners with verified, explainable AI.

Not a clinic chain, not a single app — a neutral backbone every actor plugs into, monetising the same data once, ethically.

Build roadmap

Sequenced by data, not features.

Each phase ships only when the previous one has produced the data the next one needs.

PHASE I · PRE-SEED → SEED

Solving the broken record

Scattered data, unified into one backbone.

  • Clinical Workspace (web)
  • AI Clinical Scribe
  • Pet Health Passport (mobile)
  • AI Owner Assistant
  • Data API · PIPL compliance layer
Y0–Y2 · ¥1.3M Y1 ARR (50 paying clinics)
PHASE II · SEED → SERIES A

Intelligence + trust layer

Reasoning and trust, stacked on the backbone.

  • Diagnostic Co-pilot · Surgery Prep AI
  • Pet Health Avatar · Smart Recommender
  • Anomaly Detection
  • Treatment Cost Index
Y2–Y4 · ¥20M Y2 ARR · first insurance deal live
PHASE III · SERIES A → B

Commercial flywheel

The same data, wired to every actor.

  • Marketplace · Insurance B2B2C (full)

  • Enterprise Data API (full)
  • Pharmacovigilance NLP
Y4–Y6 · ¥110M ARR (Series A milestone)
Compliance & trust

Compliance built into the data layer — not retrofitted later.

Compliance is our deepest enterprise moat — only the first mover with the framework wins pharma and insurance deals.
