Using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, a company that analyzes pet diseases through smartphone photos has been selected as an A-Venture.
On October 29, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that it has chosen the pet tech company 11Liter, which developed the pet health management service 'LiPet,' as its A-Venture of the Month for October. Since May 2019, the ministry has been selecting outstanding venture and startup companies that innovate the agriculture and food industry using AI and advanced technologies.
11Liter operates 'LiPet,' a home care solution that analyzes photos of pets' legs, mouths, and eyes taken with smartphones to determine the presence and severity of diseases.
Currently, the company has commercialized analysis services for five disease categories, including patellar luxation, periodontal disease, obesity, cataracts, and skin diseases. Among these, the software for analyzing patellar luxation and periodontal disease has received approval as a veterinary medical device.
The company is also expanding its business scope. It supplies AI analysis solutions to major domestic corporations and has launched a pet insurance product that utilizes AI analysis results for premium calculations in collaboration with private insurance companies.
11Liter has shown significant growth, with revenue increasing from 130 million won in 2023 to over 1.15 billion won in 2025, nearly a ninefold increase. The total amount of investment raised has reached 2.25 billion won.
This year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has selected 11Liter for its agricultural venture support program, providing assistance for technology advancement and commercialization. The company is developing analysis technology for pet cognitive disorders in addition to the existing five disease categories and is pursuing collaboration with local companies to enter the Japanese market.
Kim Kwang-hyun, CEO of 11Liter, stated, “Our goal is to help pet owners easily check their pets' health status in their daily lives and visit veterinary clinics in a timely manner.”
