Riley Named Among Europe's Top 100 Early-Stage Startups

An exciting milestone for Riley as we build a better future for pet healthcare.

In July 2026, Riley was named among OnStage's Top 100 early-stage startups in Europe, marking an exciting moment in our journey to make pet healthcare simpler, smarter and more connected.

For a company built around one simple belief — that pet owners deserve better — this recognition means a great deal.

But more than anything, it's a reminder of why we started.

Pet Owners Deserve Better

Our pets are family.

We invest in their health, worry when something goes wrong and want to make the best possible decisions for them.

Yet the experience of managing their healthcare hasn't always kept up.

Medical records are scattered across veterinary practices. Insurance policies are difficult to understand. Claims involve paperwork, and finding reliable answers when you're worried about your pet can be overwhelming.

Pet owners are often left connecting all the pieces themselves.

We believe there should be a better way.

That's why we built Riley.

Building a Better Way to Care for Our Pets

Riley brings the important parts of your pet's healthcare together in one place.

From medical records and veterinary support to insurance claims and personalised guidance, we're building a platform that makes looking after your pet feel less complicated.

With Riley, pet owners can:

  • Keep medical records together: Build a portable health history that stays with your pet.
  • Get personalised support: Ask Riley questions informed by your pet's medical history, medications and saved veterinary documents.
  • Simplify insurance claims: Reduce the paperwork involved in submitting claims.
  • Challenge rejected claims: Get help drafting appeals using policy wording and relevant medical information.
  • Understand veterinary costs: Make sense of treatment quotes and itemised bills.
  • Access second opinions: Get additional veterinary insight when you need more clarity.

Our ambition goes beyond making individual tasks easier.

We're building a trusted companion that supports pet owners throughout their pet's life.

Recognition That Means Something

Being included in OnStage's Top 100 early-stage startups is an encouraging moment for the Riley team.

It recognises the potential of what we're building and the importance of creating better experiences for pet owners.

Pet healthcare is a significant global industry, yet much of the experience remains fragmented between veterinary providers, insurers and individual services.

We see an opportunity to connect those experiences around the person who matters most in managing a pet's everyday care: the pet owner.

Recognition like this strengthens our determination to keep building.

This Is Only the Beginning

We're incredibly proud of how far Riley has come, but our focus remains on what comes next.

We want to make it easier for pet owners to understand their options, manage important health information and feel supported when difficult decisions arise.

That means continuing to improve the tools we offer, listening to our community and building meaningful relationships across the pet care industry.

Our long-term vision is simple:

Every pet should have a lifelong, accessible health history. And every pet owner should feel confident navigating their care.

Thank You for Being Part of Riley

To everyone who has supported Riley, shared feedback, recommended us to another pet owner or believed in what we're building — thank you.

This milestone belongs to the community helping us bring Riley to life.

Being named among Europe's Top 100 early-stage startups is an honour.

But the part we're most excited about is what we're building next.

Better care. Less complexity. Happier lives with our pets.
