Shouldered AI / For veterinarians and independent animal clinics
You be the vet. We shoulder the rest.
You love the animals. The paperwork, less so. Shouldered gives your clinic one HQ that sends vaccine and checkup reminders, keeps staff schedules and supplies moving and follows up on bills. Animal records stay in your own system and the care stays with you.
"Pets miss their vaccines because owners forget."
Nehemiah at the Operations Desk sends the reminders you approve and books the visit.
"We are short staffed and hiring is slow."
Barnabas at the People Desk posts openings for techs and assistants and books interviews.
"Unpaid bills after emergency visits hurt."
Matthew at the Finance Desk tracks open balances and prepares kind reminders for your approval.
"Our phones never stop."
Tabitha at the Service Desk answers general questions about hours, boarding and new clients, and passes anything medical to your team.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for veterinarians.
Gives you a short summary each morning of bookings, staffing and money owed.
Sends vaccine and checkup reminders and manages schedules and supply orders.
Answers general pet owner questions and books routine visits.
Posts openings, books interviews and gathers new hire paperwork.
Tracks balances, vendor bills and payroll prep for your approval.
Asks happy pet owners for reviews and shares your approved clinic news.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
Simon's morning note: fifteen pets were due for vaccines this month and ten are booked. A vet tech candidate interviews Wednesday. The supply order went out before you ran low. You spend the day with dogs, cats and the people who love them.
An illustration, not a promised result.
Start
Start with the Small HQ (up to 5 seats, 80 hours a month) at $750 a month paid for the year (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only), plus $1,000 onboarding. Practice admin like scheduling, billing follow up and staff paperwork is Shouldered first.
Grow
As your practice grows, move to Medium for up to 20 seats and 200 hours, so your next hire is for care, not the admin.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
Do patient records leave our system?
Patient records stay in your practice's own system. We help with practice admin only, patients are not onboarded to Shouldered, and clinical decisions stay with you.
Is it compliance certified?
We do not claim compliance certifications. Patient records stay in your own system, and HQ works on practice admin, not patient care.
Will it give advice to pet owners?
No. It handles general questions and booking. Anything medical goes to your team.
When can we start?
The Hero is available now at $25 a seat a month. HQ launches in December 2026, and the founding list is open today.
What if it does not help?
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
A Christian-run company, and proud of it.
Churches get free Hero seats. When a member's business joins, its church gets an HQ, free.
Simon is named for Simon of Cyrene, who stepped in and shouldered the cross for another. Shouldered takes no outside funding and is open to everyone. The technology comes from the OurWorld group: ten years of work, 60+ engineers, running in 20+ countries.
