About MEWS

Vet medicine deserves software built to continually serve its needs, not that continually needs to be served.

A practicing DVM. The founder of a multi-billion-dollar vertical-health platform. A founding engineer who's been shipping for a decade. We're a small team rebuilding the operating system veterinary medicine should have had from day one.

The team

The three of us — and the pets we go home to.

Hi, I'm Patrick.

Patrick Lee

Co-founder · CEO

I founded Dandy, the unicorn dental OS powering tens of thousands of dental practices — off the back of a full ride at Duke CS. I want to do that again — this time for the vets I grew up admiring.

Grew up with a Yorkshire who lived until twenty — after many heart-wrenching vet visits.

Hi, I'm Mark.

Mark Kinghorn, DVM

Co-founder · CVO

I founded Bloorcourt & Roncy Village Vet clinics — voted #1 and #2 Best Clinics in Toronto for two years running before we sold to VetStrategy for $22M. I've been the user we're designing for, every day, for 15 years.

Lives with Dash & Clover — a Golden and Toy Poodle, no opinion-free zones.

Hi, I'm Kevin.

Kevin Ganapathy

Head of Engineering

I ran Pixelbot for more than a decade, shipping web, mobile, and cloud platforms for YC startups and enterprises like SickKids, BMO, and WWF. I work across Node, Python, React, and AWS — and I obsess over the boring parts.

Raised two stubborn Shibas and got fed up with the archaic state of vet software along the way.

Between us we've already done
the hard parts of this once.

What we believe

Veterinary medicine has a software problem disguised as burnout.
Change the software, fix the burnout.

Most veterinary software was built to store information, bill invoices, and satisfy administrative requirements. It was not built around how veterinarians actually think, make decisions, or move through a day.

We’re not building a better filing cabinet. We’re throwing the filing cabinet off the roof and re-imagining what data-handling looks like when you ask it to serve your needs.

Built by a vet. Used in a real clinic. Sold to the rest.
