Founder Bio — Long Version

Animal Friends OS is built by an operator who has been running a pet-care shop since 2013. After years of frustration with overpriced, underperforming pet care software built by tech companies with no industry experience, Chase taught himself to code and built his own platform from scratch using Node.js, MySQL, and Express.

AFPC Industries LLC is 100% bootstrapped with no outside investors, a deliberate choice to keep pricing low and incentives aligned with customers.

Key Differentiators

• Animal Friends OS is built by an operator who has been running a pet-care shop since 2013.
• Radically affordable: plans from $69/mo (Professional $109, Premium $169) plus a one-time $49 activation fee, vs. industry standard of $125–$250/mo + per-user fees + transaction fees + annual contracts
• 100% bootstrapped, forever: No investors, no PE ownership, no incentive to raise prices or degrade the product for margin extraction
• Bring your own everything: Use your own SMS provider (BYOS), your own payment processor (BYOM), your own phone number — the software never inserts itself between you and your clients

The Elevator Pitch

Animal Friends OS is an all-in-one operating system for pet care businesses—grooming, boarding, daycare, and training—starting at $69/mo. Animal Friends OS is built by an operator who has been running a pet-care shop since 2013. While private equity firms buy up pet software companies and jack prices to $250/mo, Animal Friends OS is 100% bootstrapped, charges a predictable monthly price with no per-user fees or transaction costs, and lets facilities use their own payment processors and SMS providers. It is the first pet care software built by someone who actually does the work.
