Skiptown: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Skiptown (formerly Skipper) is a tech-enabled hub for dogs and their people. The trusted pet services company provides pet parents with first-class dog walking, daycare, and boarding services, as well as a membership-based dog park and bar – all powered by the Skiptown mobile app. Skiptown has secured thousands of members since opening the first location in Charlotte, NC in August of 2020. Skiptown offers an indoor/outdoor turfed dog park, a bar for humans, dog daycare, overnight boarding, a grooming salon, and dog walking services. From valet daycare drop-off to "Skippers" who monitor the pups at play, Skiptown's dog-focused design and high-end hangout is about giving peace of mind to pet parents and joy to their four-legged family members. Skiptown's proprietary technology platform streamlines booking and account management, sends multiple daily visit reports, pairs dogs to playgroups based on personality type, and allows for a fully customized experience for every dog. Backed by private investors and high-profile venture capital firms, including Techstars Ventures, Bull Creek Capital, and Firebrand Ventures, Skiptown is poised for growth. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Skiptown is expanding into new markets soon! Learn more about how Skiptown is revolutionizing the pet parent experience at skiptown.io.

About FundedIQ's Skiptown Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Skiptown is left off this page rather than filled in.
