The Investment Thesis
Intersection of ten commercial systems
PawPals should not be evaluated as a pet-friendly directory. The proposition being tested is whether a single platform can hold the pet profile, the discovery layer and the transaction layer across a household category that spends US$158B annually.
Positioning
Pet Lifestyle Discovery, Commerce and Data Infrastructure
The acquisition and licensing case rests on technology, brand, consumer network, merchant network, transaction infrastructure, pet profile, proprietary pet-accessibility data, commercial intent data, IP and strategic distribution value.
