TellTail

TellTail was a community-first platform providing community, education, and business support to dog breeders, connecting certified breeders with families seeking puppies. Backed by a $3.4M seed round led by General Catalyst (April 2022, with Scribble Ventures and Companion Fund). Surfaced as a General Catalyst portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network. The company has since ceased operations ("TellTail is closing its doors"); it operated a consumer marketplace and community product with no public developer API, documentation, SDK, or event surface.

TellTail is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Pet, Dog Breeders, Marketplace, and Community.
