“Meowtel: The Feline-Focused Enterprise That Pounced Through Financial Challenges and Achieved Profitability”

Ceo Sonya Petcavich
Dogs are the most popular pet in the U.S.: 65.1 million households have one, according to the American Pet Products Association. Sonya Petcavich, the founder of cat-sitting app Meowtel, thinks that cats, and cat people, deserve more. “Rover had been around for a few years, and Wag was picking up steam, but they were so dog focused. Meowtel has made it to this point raising just under $1 million in venture capital. ImpriMed, a dog oncology startup, raised $23 million in November, and Fi, a smart dog collar, has raised more than $40 million in venture capital.

“Android Users Disappointed as Beeper Admits Defeat in iMessage Battle Against Apple”

Beeper Mini Ui 3
Beeper is giving up on its mission to bring iMessage to Android after implementing a series of fixes that Apple has knocked down one by one over the past month. The latest workaround requires users to own or rent a jailbroken iPhone to get iMessage working via Beeper. You then need to install a Beeper tool to generate an iMessage registration code, then update to the latest Beeper Mini app and enter your code. The process is quite complicated and significantly takes away from the original appeal of Beeper, which was supposed to provide an easy way to bring iMessage to Android. Although Beeper is done trying to bring iMessage to Android, the company says it’s “shifting focus back to our long-term goal of building the best chat app on earth” in the new year.
