Exciting news! Owner has raised our $33m Series B. The round was led by Redpoint and Jack Altman. Restaurant owners are being crushed online by huge corporations. We’re using this cash to help them fight back. • Just 5 years ago, you’d succeed as a restaurant if you provided great food + great service. But that’s not enough anymore. The world has moved online. Restaurants must now serve up great food, great service, AND a great online experience. Failing online kills many restaurants. • Huge corporations like Domino’s have dominated in this shift to the online world. They can afford to spend billions on tech, and they’ve weaponized that. Corporate chains are growing, while independent restaurants are dying. The mom-and-pops need a platform to level the playing field. • That’s where Owner comes in. Our platform is their website builder, CRM, marketing automation, online ordering, and more — all in one place. Everything restaurants need to succeed online. We’re like Shopify + HubSpot, for restaurants. • Shoutout to Alex Bard (Redpoint) and Jack Altman (Alt Capital) for leading the round. And to new investors, including… Scott Belsky, Henry Schuck, Michael Vichich, Horsley Bridge, Activant Capital, TI Platform, Andy Pforzheimer, Cindy Bi, Arash Ferdowsi, Guillermo Rauch. • Special thanks to our earliest supporters for their belief in us and help along the way, including… Jason Lemkin (SaaStr), Alex Bard (Redpoint), Jack Altman (Alt Capital), John Andrew Entwistle, Joshua Browder, Cory Levy, Masha Bucher, Julian Shapiro, Max Mullen, Claire Hughes-Johnson, Max Altman, Parker Conrad, Kimbal Musk, Naval Ravikant, Ryan Petersen, Dylan Field. • Finally… Shoutout to the great team at @Owner. You deserve the credit for getting us here. I thank God every morning for the opportunity to build Owner with each of you. We have a really special team, and we’re just getting started. Excited to share what we build next!

I was part of the most recent batch of Avra. It’s a dream come true as a growth stage CEO. The program is packed with great insights and world-class speakers. It accelerates the learning process. And the Avra team is fantastic. They care deeply about creating an A+ experience for founders and it shows. No fluff, all value. Highly recommend for scaling CEOs!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of avra — a 7-week program designed specifically for post-Series A CEOs looking to scale their companies effectively. As most startup founders are first-time CEOs, the journey can be daunting, and resources are scarce. That’s why we created avra : to bridge that gap and provide structured, actionable insights from those who’ve been there. Each week, you’ll dive deep into essential topics like hiring and managing leaders, how to accelerate shipping velocity, and refine strategic planning. Every session is taught by experienced CEOs and operators from the world’s best companies. Since launching last year, we’ve run three cohorts, with 37 CEOs participating in the program. Don’t just take our word for it—hear from the avra founders directly!
