Recorded October 6th 2022
On today’s show Dr. Siva Nalabotu tells his story, starting VetCheck out of Fishers, Indiana in 2016 to meet an unmet need in pet urgent care. He quickly realized the model could work in other markets and decided to begin franchising the concept to allow for rapid expansion. Today, Dr. Siva also offers a private investment vehicle to help fuel that growth and allow investors to participate in the potential upside. A disclaimer should be added here in that cohost Matt Henry is employed by VetCheck and as such has a conflict of interest, which is also noted in the recording.
Guest BiosDr. Siva Nalabotu, DVM, MS, PhD Is a board-eligible veterinary toxicologist with several years of experience in veterinary medicine. His experience includes preventative care medicine, evidence-based medicine, surgical care, and emergency medicine.
