Competition is fierce as companies vie for start-up capital, with pet safety winning the day
March 19, 2013 – SEATTLE, WA – Zino Marketplace Investment Forum showcased 19 entrepreneurs from seed, early-stage and expansion consumer products & services companies seeking funding in November 2012. Four Fund Finalists were selected in December 2012 for further due diligence by the Fund Investors. The winner was recently announced and that winner was PetHub, Inc.
"I loved seeing investor pitches from so many thoughtful, creative West Coast companies," said Tom Arnold, Founder of PetHub.com. "To get into the Final Four was humbling, to say the least, but to go on to win the $50,000 prize is fantastic!"
Recently Arnold was presented with the large check at a Zino Society meeting. "We like PetHub's innovative and scalable solution to keeping pets safe and are happy to have selected PetHub as one of our portfolio investments for our fund," said Cathi Hatch, Founder & CEO of Zino Society.
After the event, Arnold jokingly said, "I can now check this off my bucket list: 'Receive big cardboard check for $50,000.'" He was referring to the physically large check that was handed to him by Hatch when PetHub was announced as the fund winner.
