Builders Wanted
We are looking for you if:
You want to be surrounded by people you trust.
01
Invent the Future
The future of software won’t give users more tools to learn. It will deliver outcomes.
Owner delivers an outcome: profitable sales growth. It isn’t another tool, or even a suite of tools. Owner is better than that. It’s a complete system of software that knows exactly how to get the outcome you’re using it for.
Owner minimizes the number of decisions customers have to make. It removes the guesswork around which tools they need to use and how to use them. It executes the best decisions on their behalf, delivering profitable sales growth. It just works.

A Local Owner’s Story
Meet Yuliana Vasquez
She came to LA with nothing, and started her family’s legacy in the form of a local Mexican restaurant. To run a successful business, Yuliana must do 3 things:
1. Get more new customers
2. Get more orders per customer
3. Get more money per order
All 3 growth levers require technology:
Get new customers
She needs local SEO and LLM search optimization. 61% of Americans still use Google, primarily, to find local restaurants. Yuliana needs a website that’s perfectly optimized for the 100+ factors that Google checks when it chooses whether to show her restaurant in local search.

Goliaths like Domino’s have entire tech and marketing departments focused on optimizing these 3 growth levers. They spend millions of dollars each year to make it easy for customers to find them and buy from them. That’s why Domino’s was one of the best-performing stocks of the 2010s.
They had hundreds of millions in budget to figure out how to drive the outcome of profitable sales growth.
Now compare Domino’s Goliath-tier ordering experience with your favorite local pizzeria’s. No contest. Brick-and-mortar business owners struggle to stitch together the hundreds of tools and workflows it takes to drive profitable sales.
They don’t have a CMO, or a marketing department, or a team of dedicated engineers. Local restaurants are losing market share, while chains keep growing.
We are solving this problem at Owner.
Owner is the AI growth engine for local businesses

Building for What’s Next
This is the future of software
The past 10 years were about giving business owners the same types of tools the big chains have, like Domino’s online ordering. With AI, the next 10 years will be about executing those tools for owners to produce the outcome they want.
We’re building for restaurants first, before moving on to every type of brick-and-mortar business.
We believe this market—owning the outcome of profitable growth for millions of business owners—is 10X larger than the SaaS industry of the past.
We have hard problems to solve. Everything about this done-for-you stack is new, and we need people who want to invent creative solutions.
That’s one reason more than 30 founders have joined Owner, many of whom previously raised millions in venture capital.
At Owner, you will build for a massive market, full of customers who are desperate for what you’re building.
Owner’s initial market consists of independent restaurant owners in the US. That’s already a $21 billion per year market — 600,000 restaurants at $35K per year, where $35K is what they spend on tech and marketing. The international market is 8X that size. In restaurants alone, we see a market that could support a company worth hundreds of billions.
We just raised a $120M Series C and reached a $1B valuation.
Our vision stretches beyond that, to 15+ other types of local businesses:
Dog groomers, independent grocers, gyms, spas, auto shops. Owner is like Shopify for local businesses, except in addition to being the ecommerce platform – we are also their marketing team, finance team, and dev team, all rolled into one.
Our customers are pulling us forward, bringing us closer to that reality.
That’s why some of the most formidable investors in the world have backed us. We have helped more than 18,000 local restaurants and reached 60 million consumers. Our business is on track to keep multiplying every year – all while approaching top efficiency benchmarks.
For Yuliana, our work means that her family business survives and thrives. For others, it could mean that a college fund finally gets started, or they can buy that home for their family.
Our mission is to arm owners to take on their Goliaths
