Draft:PetPair

Submission declined on 27 February 2024 by GSS (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: None of the sources meet the depth requirement specified in WP:CORPDEPTH, as they primarily discuss fundraising, consist of profiles, or their reliability is questionable. Additionally, while one Forbes link provides a profile and the other merely mentions the subject briefly, neither adequately fulfill the notability criteria outlined in WP:GNG.

PetPair is a pet adoption platform headquartered in Austin, Texas.^[1] The company was founded in January 2022 by Daniel Miyares and Aanandh Chandrasekar.

In 2022, PetPair raised $1.2 million in order to expand its team and its adoption offering beyond Texas.^[2]

History[edit]

Miyares and Chandrasekar met as classmates at The University of Texas at Austin and leaders of The Genesis Program,^[3] a student-alumni organization that supports student entrepreneurs. PetPair was founded after Miyares encountered myriad issues trying to adopt an animal in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020. ^[4]

In 2022, PetPair raised $1.2M from venture capital funds including Bling Capital, Expansion Ventures, Divide by Zero, Newlin Ventures, Great Oaks VC, and Hornet Ventures.^[2]

Accolades[edit]

The founding team of PetPair was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Consumer Tech list in 2023 for their efforts to connect overcapacity shelters with adopters.^[5]
