How We Got Here

 

This tale begins with two self-proclaimed pet nerds: one an investment banker and the other a designer and developer. Their meeting was serendipitous, as both felt an inner itch to create a better everyday life for pets and the humans who cared for them.

After some brainstorming, they landed on the perfect idea. They'd create a pet-focused social network that prioritized community and collaboration over individualism and competition. A place that made pet life more fun and easier to navigate. Both realized they could harness their existing skills—and learn a few new tricks—to make this vision a reality.

All that hard work paid off. Today, purrch is a thriving online community that offers everything a pet person needs. Whether it's a trusted piece of advice from someone who’s been in their shoes, a good laugh, or a new friend to lean on for support that's needed, purrch is there to make parenthood better and bring more happiness to pets.

Come see for yourself!

    They tell me I’m a bit mischievous and unpredictable. That’s a good thing, right? See you around!

    I can’t get enough of all the cute things. The tiny toe beans, the fluffy bellies, the lil teefies. I say it’s the little stuff that makes life grand.
