This is the story of all the pets, all the humans who love them and the crusade that saved them all.
Let’s start with the humans, two self-proclaimed pet nerds named Vail and Ken who can’t remember a time without animal friends in their world. In their pre-Purrch lives, Vail was a seasoned investment banker and Ken a talented developer and designer. Their meeting was serendipitous, as the two both felt an inner itch to make the world a better place for pets.
After some time and much brainstorming, they came up with the perfect way to do so: a social media platform that connected fellow pet enthusiasts. Both realized they could harness their existing skills—and learn a few new tricks—to make their vision a reality.
Like any bright idea, this pet-first social platform took a few years and a revamp to perfect, but the hard work was worth it all.
Purrch is now the only pet-first social network in the world—a social sanctuary created by pet nerds for pet nerds. Using unique technology, it brings together pet people of all types and locales, giving them a place to unleash, learn, and create friendships. It’s the place to find community, have authentic conversations, and of course get a good LOL. Purrch’s technology also helps rescue organizations find that perfect forever home fit for animal companions in their care.
Inside the safe haven of Purrch, everyone gets to live happily ever after. Come see for yourself!
Purrch wouldn't be possible without its PurrchPeople! This diverse group of pet enthusiasts has joined forces, each harnessing their individual superpowers to deliver a very special community.
