Gary is the founder and CEO of PupPilot, an AI front office for veterinary clinics. He joined Inception Studio's Cohort 17 in spring 2025.
At Inception
Cohort 17 in Napa was the pivot point — four days of focused pitch refinement that turned a research project into the fundraising story that closed PupPilot's seed round the following winter.
