Tomofun Co., Ltd.

About Tomofun (Furbo)

Tomofun was founded in 2014 by passionate pet parents with co-founder Victor Chang and is the maker of the Furbo pet cameras. The company develops interactive pet-tech products that allow owners to see, talk to and reward their dogs and cats with treats from afar. Product development is carried out jointly with dog trainers, veterinarians and behavioral researchers; the cameras ship with AI features such as real-time notifications, cloud recording and the Furbo Nanny subscription service. The portfolio includes the Furbo 360° Dog Camera, Furbo 360° Cat Camera, Furbo Mini and Furbo Mini 360°. Manufacturing does not take place in-house; Tomofun operates as a sales and development company and distributes its products via its own online shop, crowdfunding and retail platforms in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Locations are in Taipei (headquarters), Arcadia (USA), Munich and Tokyo.
