Our take

Scheduling medical appointments can be a challenging task, and Otto (formerly known as TeleVet) is on a mission to simplify this process, at least when it comes to caring for our pets. Recognizing the increasing demands on veterinary clinics and the burnout experienced by staff, Otto offers veterinary software that streamlines various aspects of clinical operations, from scheduling and after-hours triage to payments and digital prescription refills.

Unlike other startups in the veterinary tech space, Otto positions itself as an end-to-end solution rather than offering individual point solutions. the company acknowledges the common struggle faced by veterinary clinics, known as the "14 tabs problem", where staff navigates through multiple tabs to manage different aspects of patient care, leading to disruptions, communication issues, and staffing burnout. Otto aims to be a solution by understanding the challenges clinics face and developing tools that foster success without disrupting their existing workflows.

To further support its mission and capitalize on its growth, Otto has recently closed a Series B funding round. The company's strategic approach and substantial customer growth indicate a promising future, with plans to achieve breakeven by the end of 2025. The funding will likely be instrumental in Otto's continued development of innovative solutions to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of veterinary care while maintaining a focus on alleviating the burdens faced by clinics in their day-to-day operations.
