Company Launches

We’re Umed and Ola from Owny and we just launched a product revamp for startups to manage capital and banking needs. We use AI for bank account creation, quick transactions, simplified onboarding and verification processes, and user-friendly management tools.

The Problem

Startups and PE/VC funds have to rely on multiple systems, PDF files, and manual processes to raise capital, manage investors, and handle payments. Bank accounts can take weeks if not months to create. These disconnected and inefficient methods are slow, costly, and prone to errors. In addition, the existing tools and technology used in this process were often manual and didn't seamlessly integrate across different systems.

Our Solution

OWNY is a platform that leverages AI tools and the latest technology to facilitate efficient capital management and payment flow. It offers quick transactions, simplified onboarding and verification processes, and user-friendly management tools to address challenges in the startup and private equity sectors. By utilizing AI and standardization, OWNY aims to streamline processes and enhance overall functionality.

Accounts typically get approved on the same day.
