Biggest accomplishment/connection during the program? The Kansas City Animal Health Corridor. Big thanks to Kim Young and Emily Dye for helping us make awesome connections!

Mind-blowing moment or self realization about your business over the last 90 days? We designed FitBark to improve the life of our pets. It turns out that dogs can get their owners more active and healthy!
