Whistle has created a new way for pet parents to get more peace of mind about their dog’s health. Our smart devices are powered by an award-winning team of vets and data scientists, six years of research, and a health study of over 100K dogs (one of the largest ever conducted). We’re constantly innovating in the pet care tech space so that pet parents can have a crystal clear picture of how their pets are doing—and how to keep them as healthy, happy, and safe as possible. Whistle has been a part of Kinship, the venture, technology, and data division of Mars Petcare, since 2016. We proudly share Mars’ mission to create a better world for pets.

We are the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. We work with political leaders around the world to drive change, helping governments deliver for their people by turning bold ideas into reality. We do it by advising on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three. And by sharing what we learn on the ground, so everyone can benefit. We do it to build more open, inclusive and prosperous countries for people everywhere. If you believe politics done well has the power to transform lives, we invite you to join us. Together we can build a better future.

Venture Partner
2016
1955 Capital is a leading venture capital firm that invests in companies developing advanced technologies that address the worlds most pressing challenges in the areas of health and sustainability. Unlike most venture firms, we work intimately with entrepreneurs and innovators to build strong companies, accelerate technology commercialization, create jobs, foster global partnerships, and go after explosive end-markets. The firm was launched in 2016 by Andrew Chung, a former general partner at Khosla Ventures and investor at Lightspeed Ventures, who has rare experience and success investing in deep technology and breakthrough entrepreneurs. Our diverse and inclusive team combines strong domain expertise, operating experience, and a history of commercializing technologies around the world.
