Company mission
To help pet parents take care of their furry family members.
Our take
Pets are cherished family members, but the financial burden of insuring them is a pressing issue as household budgets are squeezed tighter and tighter. Recognising this challenge, Barkibu, a Spanish eHealth startup dedicated to pets, is tackling the substantial costs associated with pet healthcare.
A fully digital pet insurance platform, Barkibu is harnessing the power of AI technology in order to identify pet illnesses and automatically record their information. This not only minimises animal discomfort, but improves the accuracy of diagnostic procedures. Thanks to these advancements, Barkibu has garnered the trust of over 20,000 pet parents in both the Spanish and German markets.
Impressively, Barkibu's growth is primarily driven by satisfied customers referring others to the company. This organic and user-led approach has contributed to a remarkable 20% average monthly increase in sales. Leveraging this positive momentum, Barkibu recently concluded a successful funding round, securing the necessary resources to expand its offerings and further solidifying its strong position in the market.
