Dog walking app launches Kickstarter to support cutting-edge technology integration
Following a successful launch in June 2021, GoWalkies has disrupted the pet technology industry by connecting verified dog walkers with dog owners. Benefitting both dog owners and walkers, GoWalkies provides owners with peace of mind through a range of safety precautions, whilst allowing walkers to retain 100% of their fee.
Having already implemented a range of features such as unique real-time walk tracking and secure in-app payment processes, GoWalkies is looking to take the next step in its development with the addition of cutting-edge blockchain technology.
With the app already hosting thousands of dog walkers and owners after the first few months of its BETA launch, GoWalkies’ Kickstarter campaign marks a significant milestone for the company, with plans to raise £10,000 to support ambitious growth. The additional financing will enable GoWalkies to invest in the user experience and support back-end developments. With future plans to launch overseas, the Kickstarter campaign will solidify GoWalkies’ enviable position as a hugely exciting British tech business.
Sonny D’Avola, Founder of GoWalkies, explained: “The launch of GoWalkies has been a huge success. From quickly establishing ourselves in the pet tech sector and creating a community of thousands, GoWalkies has gone from strength to strength. We’re now looking at how we can take the GoWalkies app to new heights whilst improving on the experience for both dog owners and dog walkers.
“One of our key targets for driving growth on a national and international scale is the implementation of blockchain technology to support smart contracts. This is what our Kickstarter will primarily fund as well as customer-facing changes to the user interface and experience.
“We’re extremely excited to invite investors, dog walkers, dog owners and dog lovers to invest in such an exciting brand at such an exciting time in our journey towards a better dog walking landscape for everyone.”
Free to download via Google Play and the Apple App Store, GoWalkies has a growing database of dog walking businesses and owners and is quickly establishing itself as a key player in the pet-tech market.
The Kickstarter is now live here.
