## About

Established in 2020 by Hiroyuki Mizuno (CTO), and based in Tokyo, Japan, LANIMAL Inc. offers a pet monitoring service using LINE and AI technology to help owners take care of their pets in a better way. In October 2022, LANIMAL Inc. raised JPY 140 million in seed funding from investors Edge Labs, Inc., HTG Ltd., PE & HR Co., Ltd., and Vector Inc. As of October 2022, the company is being led by its CEO, Jun Crane. 

The company provides Sewakuru, a pet service in which a pet caregiver visits the owner's home to look after the pet's feeding, walking, and playing needs, as well as grooming needs when the owner is absent. The company provides tools to help owners discover physical changes in their pet's environment that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Additionally, the organization provides pet grooming services on the wedding day of its owner. Furthermore, the company provides a pet caretaker training course.

The company intends to use the October 2022 funds raised to invest in new technology and business expansion.
