Our take
Filu operates at the intersection of emergency clinics, preventative practice, and digital care, providing veterinary clinics with digital processes, video, and in-person consultations through its network of tech-enabled veterinary practices.
With a target audience of tech-savvy millennials, Filu is helping the market evolve to meet the needs and expectations of modern-day pet owners. Personalised care and holistic practices are key concerns for their customer base, and the company’s founders fit right into Filu’s demographic.
