Calgary, Alberta – Metiquity Ventures is thrilled to announce our role as the lead investor in a $1 million pre-seed investment round for Sylvester, a pioneering Calgary-based startup utilizing AI, machine learning and computer vision to transform veterinary care for cats. Our $400,000 investment supports Sylvester’s innovative platform, Tably, which uses AI to analyze cats’ facial expressions and provide real-time assessments of their comfort levels.

Cats have a natural tendency to hide their pain, a natural behaviour rooted in their evolutionary survival. This makes it very challenging for pet owners to detect when their cats are in pain. Sylvester’s technology addresses a critical need in feline healthcare, allowing cat owners and veterinarians to detect pain and discomfort in cats more accurately, objectively and timely.

“We are delighted to partner with Metiquity Ventures,” said Susan Groeneveld, CEO and founder of Sylvester. “Their strategic support is instrumental as we scale our operations and advance our mission to improve cat health through cutting-edge AI technology. Metiquity’s confidence in our vision fuels our drive to innovate and expand our impact in veterinary care for cats.”

“We are thrilled to support Sylvester in their mission to improve feline health,” said Bryan Slauko, Partner at Metiquity Ventures. ” Sylvester’s potential to influence the industry is substantial. Their innovative use of AI has the potential to set new standards of care in the veterinary industry, and we anticipate great achievements through their expanded capabilities.”

The funds from this round will enable Sylvester to advance their technology, extend their market presence, and continue their impressive growth trajectory. We are confident in Sylvester’s ability to lead the cat health industry towards a more innovative and technologically advanced future.
