The project received funding through crowdfunding platform Brainbox.VC, which also acted as lead investor in the transaction, investing 10% of the total round, a Brainbox.VC representative told RB.RU. The remaining funds were contributed by 467 private investors.
VOX uses the funds received to create a mobile application, geographic scaling and marketing. Previously, the startup was developed using the founder’s own funds and project income.
According to the Brainbox.VC platform, the project will report monthly to its investors on how the startup uses the funds received.
VOX is a dog and other pet walking and boarding service, operational since 2020. The founder and CEO of the project is Maria Malvinskaya. The legal entity of the service, JSC PetTech Solutions, was founded in October 2023.
The service allows the user to call a dog walker with two clicks. Through it you can order and pay for services without talking to managers, and it also collects and remembers information about orders and customers. Project representatives consider American Wagwalking to be a similar project on the world market.
