The story

Travv is a very early-stage (2025-founded, 5-employee) veterinary diagnostics startup building a cloud PACS/RIS platform with AI-powered radiology and cardiology reads. It is not a fintech and has no embedded finance offering. Founding team combines deep veterinary diagnostics domain expertise (Whitley from Antech/Vidium, Pease from ACVR/MSU) with technical AI leadership (Runyan from Lacuna Diagnostics; Craig from Stanford/JPL). The strategic bet is that traditional veterinary diagnostic labs (Antech, Idexx, Heska) are ripe for disruption by a modern cloud-native, AI-augmented workflow platform that integrates directly into hospital PIMS.
