COMPETIBLE
Matching people with animals — and the services around that life.
COMPETIBLE exists to get animals into the right homes. The product matches people with pets from shelters, foster networks, and vetted ethical breeders — then keeps the surrounding services in the same system.
The public product is Friends Furr-ever: search and matching across adoption, fostering, and responsible placement, with lifestyle constraints (rent, allergy, foster-only) treated as first-class filters, not afterthoughts.
Around that sits a marketplace for dog schools, veterinary services, sitters, supplies, insurance, and lost-and-found. The constraint is welfare: providers are meant to be verified, breeding is meant to be responsible, and the mission is the animal, not the listing volume.
I co-founded it. The work is product, systems, and the ethics of a marketplace that can do harm if it is built carelessly.
- 01
Adoption and foster
Local shelter and foster listings designed to place animals, not just advertise them.
- 02
Ethical placement
Breeders and providers filtered for welfare standards, not open-slather classifieds.
- 03
Life around the animal
Vets, sitters, schools, supplies, insurance, and lost-and-found in one map.
- 04
Welfare as a constraint
The product is judged on whether animals and people are better off — not on how many listings it can hold.
