Oh Norman!, a pet wellness brand co-founded by Katie Hunt and Kaley Cuoco, has been chosen as one of six startups for the Leap Venture Studio & Academy accelerator program. This selection brings crucial support from Mars Petcare and access to a network of industry experts and investors, including contributions from Michelson Found Animals.
"Being selected for the Leap Venture Studio & Academy is an incredible honor, and the backing from Mars Petcare is a testament to our vision and potential," said Katie Hunt, co-founder and CEO of Oh Norman!. "This partnership not only provides us with essential funding and strategic guidance but also solidifies our commitment to revolutionizing pet care with science-backed, ethical, and eco-conscious products. We’re excited to accelerate our growth and continue our mission to improve the lives of pets everywhere."
Oh Norman! will receive $200,000 in funding and resources provided by the accelerator to enhance its market expansion and innovation in the pet care industry. Founded in memory of Kaley Cuoco’s dog, Norman, the brand offers supplements, grooming products, and treats approved by Certified Veterinary Specialists.
"We founded Oh Norman! because I simply love dogs! I wanted to create high quality products, while also supporting animal rescues,” said Kaley Cuoco, co-founder and president of Oh Norman!. “The whole Oh Norman! team is as crazy for dogs as I am, and that passion means we understand what would improve the lives of dogs and of their owners. I am so proud of what we have already built and how we have been able to give back.”
Oh Norman! products are available on ohnorman.com, Amazon and PetMeds.
