The Mission:
I’m building WagVitals (https://wagvitals.com)—an Agentic AI platform for canine longevity. After losing my dog Jimmy to a silent, undiagnosed illness, I’m building the tool I wish I had to catch health issues before they become emergencies.
Traction:
• 300+ signups, 13 pre-orders (zero marketing).
• Selected: NSF I-Corps, Gener8tor gBeta, Global Cleveland NOVA.
• 3 Vet advisors + AI/Software leads already onboard.
What I need (Hardware Co-Founder):
You’re a builder who wants to own the physical product. You will lead:
• Architecture: Design and sensor integration for our health-monitoring collar.
• Manufacturing: Driving the transition from pilot batch to custom mold.
• Data Quality: Ensuring our sensors deliver clinical-grade biometrics.
The Details (To meet sub rules):
• Compensation: Equity-based co-founder role (standard vesting).
• Commitment Level: Full-time (or near full-time) commitment preferred.
• What I’m Bringing: Market research, traction/validation, existing vet advisors, AI/Software leads, and strategic vision/sales.
• The Pitch: We aren’t just building a gadget; we are building an Agentic AI platform for the $147B pet market. I have the software/AI engine and the market validation—I need a hardware partner to build the physical soul of the product.
Why join?
I’m a non-technical founder who bootstrapped this to early traction. I’ve secured the vision and the software team—I need a partner to own the hardware soul of this company.
If you’re obsessed with hardware and want to build the future of pet longevity, DM me with your background and why this mission matters to you.
Let’s build.
