PANIO is building a new approach to canine healthcare by combining non-invasive at-home diagnostics, behavioural insights, lifestyle data and veterinary records into a single intelligent system.
At the center of the platform is an AI-powered digital twin of each dog, allowing owners and veterinarians to monitor health continuously and intervene earlier with personalised care plans.
For early-stage founders, access to the right investors and partners can take months or even years to build organically. PANIO joined the Startup Spotlight programme at the Doers Summit Limassol specifically to accelerate those connections.
What they found was an unusually focused environment designed for real deal flow rather than surface-level networking:
“The intimacy of the event was what surprised us the most. Conversations were meaningful rather than transactional, and relationships formed quickly.”
The impact went well beyond visibility.
Through the programme, PANIO achieved several tangible outcomes:
Following the event, the company engaged in multiple serious discussions with investors, accelerating fundraising conversations.
“The programme accelerated several conversations that might otherwise have taken months to initiate. It created meaningful visibility with the right audience and moved a number of potential deals and partnerships forward.”
The summit also opened doors to commercial and strategic partnerships, helping PANIO expand its ecosystem and explore new collaboration opportunities.
The exposure generated media attention and inbound interest that continued even after the programme ended.
According to the PANIO team, the biggest differentiator was the quality and engagement of the people in the room.
“The event was filled with serious investors, operators and decision-makers who were genuinely engaged with the companies presenting.”
