Try Dealroom → has raised $300,000 in a pre-seed round led by US-based venture firm Comma CapitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. The capital will fund the launch of HeartPour, a wet dog food line, and build out its team.
What's the endgame? Founded in August 2025 by Manaal Maniyar and Palak Devpura, TailBlazeDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → targets canine longevity and nutrition. It aims to extend dogs' lives by three to five years through high-protein, lower-carbohydrate formulations.
HeartPour emerged from four years of research and development, combining protein and superfoods with an Ayurvedic PanchTatva blend of curcumin, black pepper, parsley, amla and tulsi. The startup has also built FreshTail, a proprietary technology for shelf-stable fresh meals.
