What's the big idea?
There are currently 72 million households with pets – meaning there are MORE pets in households than children. Oftentimes, pet owners rigorously search multiple resources for information.
Petsplore will be a search engine specifically designed to help pet owners and animal lovers weave through all the saturated information and find the best relevant content. Just like Pinterest, users will share the information they believe is relevant and interesting and that is how Petsplore will curate the best pet information.
Basically: Google + Pinterest + Pet Information = Petsplore
Describe the nearest player in your field.
Pet360 and Dogtime are the main players in our category.
How are you different from that player?
Both Pet360 and Dogtime are inundated with pet information – making it difficult for pet owners to find relevant information. Petsplore is a fun, social and easy way to discover and find relevant pet information.
How's the world different with your idea in it?
We will provide pet owners with the community and information they need to ensure their pets are happy, healthy and safe. Our unique online pet community will also be dedicated to saving the lives of millions of homeless animals.
Why are you the one to run with this idea?
I’m extremely persistent and ambitious. Most importantly, I’m passionate about the health and safety of animals. I’ve been chasing this dream for years, and I’m closer than I’ve ever been before. I’m certain that my passion, drive and faith will bring me to the top.

Hello Friends…. My Son, Darren Stover is in need of your support! Thanks so much! (See Below).
My name is Darren Stover, and I grew up learning that you can’t live the life you want to live by working for someone else. So a year ago, I stepped out on faith and drove 12 hours to Detroit from Atlanta to join an incubator. Today, at the young age of 23, I have the rare opportunity to win some additional funding, $5,000 for my company.
Every entrepreneur knows the lifeline of your business is funding and support. I’m reaching out to you today to ask for your support in helping me make my dreams into reality. Your support does not require you to give me any money. All you have to do is “endorse” my company Petsplore. The company that receives the most endorsements will win the funding. Unfortunately, I won’t know how many endorsements I have until it’s over. So I truly need all of you to “endorse” Petsplore and spread the word amongst your family, friends and coworkers.
You will need to go to www.startgarden.com and log in via Facebook. Once you’re logged in, look for my company Petsplore in the “Ideas” section of the site. Select Petsplore and “endorse” my idea.
After endorsing my idea, scroll to the bottom of the page and post a comment and share it on Facebook.
It’s so simple, yet it can change my whole life. Together with your support, you’ll see me on future covers of Forbes, Black Enterprise, and Success Magazine and one day be named Entrepreneur of the Year.
Thank you in advance for making my dreams into reality.
See you at the top!
– Darren Stover

Hi Ashley. I truly appreciate your feedback. I agree with your statement – the Pet Social Networking market is extremely saturated. However, Petsplore will NOT be another Pet Social Networking site.
Instead, it will be a search engine specifically designed to help pet owners and animal lovers weave through all the saturated information and find the best relevant content. Just like Pinterest, users will share the information they believe is relevant and interesting and that is how Petsplore will curate the best pet information.
Basically: Google + Pinterest + Pet Information = Petsplore
That’s why I named Dogtime and Pet360 – they’re more informational sites rather than social network sites.
If you have any more questions, thoughts or suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Please email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Again, thank you for your feedback Ashley!
