PawsNearMe is the Waze for dog owners — a real-time safety and community intelligence layer built around the places where dogs and their owners actually live their lives.
We're not building a fitness ego app. We're building the product that reactive dog owners check before every single walk. The one that surfaces broken glass before your dog steps on it. The one that tells you there are 4 friendly dogs at London Fields right now.
This is a hyperlocal density play. Win one park. Win one city. Win the world.
