Golden Child

About Golden Child

Golden Child is a pet wellness brand that has developed a new class of fresh dog food. The Miami-based company emerged from stealth in April 2026 after raising $37 million in funding from backers including Atomic, A*, and Redpoint Ventures. The company was founded in 2025 by Quentin Lacornerie and Jack Abraham. Abraham, a co-founder of Hims & Hers, was motivated to start the company after his own dog became ill from nutritional gaps found in a premium fresh food brand. Lacornerie, formerly the VP of Product Management at Hims & Hers, joined to lead product development. Golden Child's approach combines veterinary nutrition science with culinary craftsmanship, utilizing a proprietary supply chain that mirrors human food delivery standards. The founding team includes a board-certified veterinary nutritionist, a nutrition scientist, a classically trained chef, and experts with experience from companies like The Farmer’s Dog, HelloFresh, and Nestlé Purina. Their mission is to create dog food that focuses on digestibility, nutrition, and taste, going beyond simple refrigeration as the main marker of quality. The product line is centered around "Mains" and "Drizzles". The "Mains" are fresh, protein-based meals made with whole ingredients like real cuts of chicken and beef, fruits, and vegetables. These meals, which are AAFCO complete and balanced, start at approximately $3 per day. The "Drizzles" are functional, shelf-stable flavor toppers designed to enhance palatability and provide additional benefits for gut health, joint function, and cellular vitality. All products are manufactured in U.S.-based facilities.
