“The Unleashed Accelerator has been a truly transformative experience for Petalife. Beyond the exceptional mentorship, the opportunity to collaborate closely with Purina's global experts challenged us to think differently, sharpen our commercial strategy, and better understand how to build a scalable solution that creates real value for both pet owners and the wider pet care ecosystem.
One of the highlights of the program was visiting Purina's global headquarters, where we had the privilege of meeting and engaging with teams across innovation, business, and pet care. These face-to-face conversations gave us invaluable perspectives on the industry's challenges and opportunities, while the openness and generosity of everyone we met made the experience incredibly meaningful. We truly appreciated how approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested the Purina team was in helping us grow.
What makes Unleashed truly unique is the depth of the experience. It is far more than an accelerator—it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the world's leading pet care companies, learn directly from experts across multiple functions, and build relationships that continue well beyond the program. We have not come across another startup program that offers such an in-depth experience dedicated to pet startups, together with such a passionate and supportive global community.
We also built meaningful friendships with fellow founders from around the world, creating a network that continues to inspire and support one another. We leave the program with greater confidence, stronger partnerships, and a much clearer path to scale our impact. We are incredibly grateful to the entire Purina team for believing in our vision and are proud to be part of the Unleashed community.”
