From the founder
"I’m absolutely delighted we’ve secured this funding from some of the UK’s top Angel investors. They are people who I’ve admired for a long time and who now are helping me build this business. We are delighted that they see the scope of the opportunity, and what to come on the journey. It’s our mission to be the most dog trainer, and dog owner friendly software company on the planet, and to solve the huge issues facing the training world today. Together I believe we can do it."

Investor perspective
"The pandemic led to a massive pet boom, as a result we seen many of our furry friends spend the best part of puppyhood indoors, leading to a lack socialisation and or training. Dog Trainers and Dog Behaviourists became high in demand, motivated to solve the crisis, trying hard to scale their businesses, yet without the adequate infrastructure or software to do so. GetWelp is solving this! I’m super excited to be backing such a purpose led and timely startup. As we are seeing more millennials opt to have furry friends before children, this is the future."
