Bringing pets on Blockchain
Switzerland, Zürich
Problem & Solution
The pet market is so big and disconnected, it has become profitable even for criminal organizations. Around 80 % of online ads are doubtful, promoting illegally imported animals, with many pets often sick and abused. Breeders compete against the black market, as shady ones do not inoculated their animals, neither provide healthy and fully checked certified pets.
On the other hand, dogs and cats are loved by their owners more than ever before. Especially the pet-loving Millennials embrace their animals into their lives and digital lifestyle.
CogniPet™ is an intelligent matchmaking marketplace between breeders and pet owners with a native rating function. Thanks to Blockchain and Facial Recognition technology, the animals in the system receive a unique and secure digital identity which can be linked to genealogical and medical data.
By leveraging such capabilities, CogniPet will help to fight criminal animal trafficking and underpin a billion dollar market with necessary transparency.
Question from Giulia B.:
Do you already have partnership in place for the access to medical data?
Dear Giulia,
thanks to reach us. We are right in the middle
of product development and are defining the first interface
possibilities with companies in the insurance sector. If there
is a profitable alternative for a win-win situation, we do not close
our eyes to a partnership. As we have limited resources, it would be advantageous
to identify synergies right from the start in order to discuss collaboration.
Happy to discuss further together with you.Our marketplace product contains detailed and photo
illustrative information e.g. offered puppies, their parents, pedigree, prices, origin and ratings of breeders.
Our working AI algorithm is already able to recognize up to 63 dog breeds, which is amazing
fast and accurate with 89%. We work on it to increase further accuracy of the artificial
intelligence to allow the recognition of more breeds as one of our milestones. The CogniPet user
profile allows personalized customization such as login, photo upload, etc.
