About LIMPID

We read what animals can't say, and catch disease earlier. LIMPID is an AI company built for animal health.

The LIMPID team
What we do

LIMPID reads an animal's day through an AI pet camera. Our own AI model, trained on 350 million video records, recognizes more than 20 behaviors and finds the changes from the usual that let us detect disease earlier. One company owns it all, from detection to intervention to validation.

The Kinfora camera records how an animal behaves while home alone and compares it with that individual's own baseline to flag unusual signs. AI training and analysis run on our own GPU infrastructure in Korea.

So that detection does not end at a notification, we own the layers of intervention and validation too. Formulas designed by veterinarians become products in our own factory, and our joint clinical trial center with the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kyungpook National University verifies their efficacy and safety.

Potential Candidate

Three things we look for in the people who join us

  • We aim our arrows at the problem, never at a person. The goodness that shows in how you treat a colleague comes before ability.

  • The worse the news, the sooner we say it. The more senior you are, the earlier you bring it up. That is what transparency means here.

  • Veterinary medicine and AI, manufacturing and clinical work all sit at one table here. We want people who keep learning outside their own field.
