  • Onedot Japan

    Participated · Series B · May 2024

    Onedot operates Petnote, a pet O2O quick‑commerce service that delivers pet food and supplies in roughly 30–60 minutes. Petnote launched in May 2022 and in two years expanded to 10 Chinese cities with about 80 dark‑store locations; some regions are already profitable. In addition to Petnote, Onedot runs the parenting media Babily, the inbound medical platform OneMedica, and a China digital strategy and marketing support business. The company says it will use newly raised funds to accelerate Petnote’s geographic expansion, invest in service development, and hire business and product talent in Japan and China. Onedot aims to become a comprehensive O2O platform in China by adding services such as pet health management, online health consultations, and animal hospital referrals. The company was founded in December 2016 and is headquartered in Tokyo.
