Battery Ventures has made a significant growth investment in Vetspire, an Austin-based AI operating system for veterinary practices. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Vetspire plans to utilize the funding to accelerate product innovation and AI development, aiming to further support veterinary teams of all sizes. With this investment, Zachary Seely has been appointed as the new CEO of Vetspire.

"We think Vetspire has a tremendous opportunity to grow as a forward-thinking, independent provider of technology for veterinary practices, from large, multi-site operators to smaller independent clinics," stated Chelsea Stoner, general partner at Battery Ventures. "And the timing couldn’t be better: Many pets adopted during the Covid era are getting older and will need increasing levels of care over the next several years." Vetspire was founded in 2017.
