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.
