Anipos Co., Ltd. is a Japanese InsurTech company founded in March 2019 by CEO and veterinarian Dr. Takuyo Okawa. Dr. Okawa's experience in veterinary medicine, including running his own animal hospital, revealed that many pet owners underutilized their insurance due to complex and inconvenient claims processes. This insight led to the creation of Anipos to simplify and digitize the pet insurance workflow.
The company's core offering for pet owners is the 'Anipos' mobile application. This free app allows users to file an insurance claim simply by photographing and uploading the medical bill from the veterinary clinic. Anipos then handles the data submission to the respective pet insurance company on behalf of the owner, eliminating paperwork and mailing for the user. The app also serves as a digital record of a pet's visit history.
For business clients, Anipos provides a suite of B2B services aimed at the digital transformation of the pet insurance industry. The flagship product is 'ANIPOS Cloud', a comprehensive, SaaS-based core system for pet insurance providers. It offers a one-stop solution for managing operations, including policy applications, claims processing, and customer management, enabling companies to launch and operate a pet insurance business efficiently and without paper-based processes. The company also offers an 'Anipos AI Claims Assessment Service' that uses AI to perform initial claim reviews, an 'Anipos OCR Service' to digitize paper claims, and consulting services for new entrants into the pet insurance market.
Anipos operates on a B2B and B2B2C model, generating revenue by providing its cloud systems and digital transformation services to insurance companies. As of February 2025, the Anipos app was compatible with six insurance companies in Japan. The company has successfully raised an undisclosed amount in a Seed funding round on June 8, 2021, from investors including GLOBIS Capital Partners, Hiroshima Venture Capital, and Monex Ventures.
