## Elevator Pitch
Vuelve is an applied biotech startup transforming pet loss into a regenerative process. We offer an eco-friendly alternative through biotransformation. It converts deceased pets into fertile soil without emissions, replacing cremation.

## Climate Problem
Pet aftercare relies on cremation and burial, which generate emissions—cremating one pet can emit ~50–160kg of CO₂. These processes contribute to pollution while failing to meet the demand for sustainable, transparent options aligned with families’ values

## Solution
Vuelve replaces cremation with biotransformation. Our proprietary inoculum accelerates natural decomposition without emissions, turning pets into fertile soil. We integrate tracking and a conscious grieving ritual, validated over 4 years with a 99% NPS.

## Revenue Model
B2B2C via partnerships with veterinary clinics that refer clients at time of loss. In parallel, a B2C strategy using targeted digital marketing on Instagram and TikTok, focused on grief support and sustainability.

## Target Market
Urban pet owners in Latin America (Peru, Chile, Colombia, Mexico), mainly middle–high income, who see pets as family and seek dignified, sustainable end-of-life solutions with higher willingness to pay.

## Social Impact
People Living in Extreme Poverty

## Demand Evidence
We have validated demand through 4+ years of operations, hundreds of clients, and NPS 99. Demand is driven by organic search and referrals, indicating high intent. Trends like pet humanization and sustainability reinforce a strong market need.

## Competitors
Competitors include crematoriums like Ashkiwasi and Cenizas del Sol in Peru, Pleia in Colombia (composting), and informal burial. Most rely on incineration or non-standardized processes; none combine biotech, traceability, and experience like Vuelve.

## Founder Expertise
Pía Pacheco (CEO): Industrial Engineer, Chevening Scholar, MSc in Climate Change, 6+ years leading projects. Gonzalo León (COO): Permaculture and bioprocess expert with 15 years’ experience and second-time founder, bringing key operational know-how.

## External Support
In 2023, we won PEN 67,000 from ProInnóvate (Startup Perú) and PEN 5,000 from WISE Women in STEM (UDEP), used to expand the business. We also secured a new partner investing USD 40,000 for 12.5% equity.
