Owner is the first board I ever joined after leading their A, and Adam is the founder who made me realize I wanted to be a full time investor. Incredible execution fueled by genuinely loving their customers. So proud of these guys and they are just at the beginning.

Huge day, and so proud of the team hitting this milestone. More energized than ever by all the work we still have to do for our customers. Local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and it's an honor to serve them... back to it!

This fundraising announcement is an absolute masterclass. It actually makes me want to root for an AI company. So clever to align the AI with the interests of local businesses versus big corporations. Everyone founder should watch it.

Owner is using AI to give the local restaurant the marketing and tech firepower the big chains have always had. That's the tech I want to back, the kind that helps Main Street. Congrats @adamguild and team!! (Owner is a 776 co) nitter.cf/adamguild/status/20933…

stoked to share that after 15+ years away from the industry, i’m returning to work with restaurants… i joined @owner last week! i worked in restaurants from 14 to 22, so this one feels super personal. i saw firsthand how locally-owned restaurants become pillars of their communities AND how insanely hard they are to run as businesses. between big chains with massive marketing budgets and delivery apps taking a cut of every online order, owners today have even more to contend with. that’s where we come in. we help independent restaurants build stronger relationships with their customers, so they can compete with the big chains and keep more of what they earn. very excited to work alongside @darrinhenein @AdamWhitcroft @AnthonyMenecola @jonminori and everyone else on this stacked team of 10. we're hiring for both product and brand, so please reach out.

just shipped my last pr at @Shopify 1.5 years alongside some of the most talented people I've ever worked with, during a genuinely special time in design. thankful for every bit of it. more on what's next in a bit... but first, camping with my kiddos.

A few weeks ago we launched a new brand for @owner — an evolution that much better represents the incredible mission and technology that we're building. This was one of the first initiatives I lead as CDO here and was an amazing process in collaboration with @thenickpattison and his talented team at Primary. We couldn't be more proud of how we now show up in the world. Owner has now driven over $1,000,000,000 in sales for local restaurants, and that growth is compounding every week. We've been on a hiring streak and have welcomed some insane talent to the design team in the last few months, and we're looking to bring on a few more builders — designers who sweat the details and can bring their ideas to life. Apply through our careers page if this sounds like you!

Nothing like epic investor updates on 1/1/26. First up is @owner: 👩‍🍳 One of the best companies I've ever invested in is @owner — AI for restaurants. A great example of AI Vertical B2B. They dramatically accelerated in 2025: • Growing almost ~3x YoY, accelerating towards $100M ARR. • 83% of growth comes from their AI products.  • Truly S-tier team and jaw-dropping velocity.  The key is massive ROI from AI. Massive & nearly instant. Great work on a great 2025, Team @Owner @AdamGuild @DeanBloembergen. Proud to have led the seed round at @SaaStrfund.

AI is completely changing the restaurant industry, at a pace and scale many may not realize. It's a $1T+industry that desperately needs AI to deal with a lack of humans and automation. And @owner is the break-out leader of the next generation. I'm proud to have led to the seed round. They have a S-tier team full of ex-founders crushing it and would love to make 1-2 small acquihires of top technical teams. More here:

If you're a technical founder or product-driven team and haven't found PMF, Owner is open to small acquihires. We’re growing extremely fast, have dozens of former founders across our team, and have so much still to build. Ping me to discuss.

In the Age of AI, you have to do >everything< for the customer. Everything. Effortlessly, and with near instant and true ROI. Own it. Don’t ask them to.

I’m feeling blessed to share: Owner raised $120M Series C and is now at a $1B valuation 🦄 Mom-and-pop restaurant owners are being crushed by huge corporations. We’re using this cash to arm them to fight back. • This round was co-led by 2 perfect partners for us: Alex Kurland from Meritech, who led DoorDash’s Series B, and Shalini Rao from Headline, who led Toast’s Series C. They were also joined by an inspiring group of new investors: Fidji Simo (CEO Instacart), Jonathan Neman (CEO Sweetgreen), Garrett Langley (CEO Flock Safety). & still more inspiring new investors... Dharmesh Shah (CTO HubSpot), Josh Reeves (CEO Gusto), Shaan Puri (MFM), Matteo Franceschetti (CEO Eight Sleep), Anthony Pompliano, Sahil Bloom, Christina Cacioppo (CEO Vanta), Brett Schulman (CEO Cava), Matt Maloney (Founder & CEO GrubHub). … just to name a few. :) • Today, technology is being weaponized against small business owners. Corporations like Domino’s dominate. Why? Because they spend billions on tech, engineers, and marketers. • Small business owners are forced to compete with corporations that have massive war chests. But with Owner, they can do more than compete. They can win. We’re building the platform that gives them the power. We serve the people who serve our communities. • I started Owner 7 years ago, after dropping out of high school halfway through 10th grade. The first version of Owner wasn’t built for venture capital. It was built for my mom. She’s a small business owner who just needed a shot at success in the digital world. • I remember watching her worry that we’d lose her business and our house. In a moment of desperation, she asked her weird :) nerdy 17-year-old son to help her. I built a solution for her. That was Owner V1. When it started to work, I saw my mom transform. She went from being constantly stressed about money to feeling hopeful and excited about her future. The Owner team has now seen that same transformation happen for thousands of small business owners like her. That’s what drives us. • You can think of Owner as Shopify for restaurants—and, eventually, all local business owners. It gives them everything they need to succeed in the online future, in one place. Owner is their website, online ordering, mobile app, CRM. It all works together as one system. • Owner is also continuously optimized with what we learn from the thousands of restaurants and the more than 57 million consumers who have used our platform. It’s the only system designed for one outcome: growing sales profitably. It gives independent owners enough firepower to take on the big corporations, and win. • Shoutout to the great team at @Owner — You deserve the credit for getting us here. I thank God every morning that I get to build Owner with each of you. We wouldn’t be here without you. We have a special team. Each of you represents greatness. • And shoutout to the best cofounder and CTO I could ever ask for, @DeanBloembergen. His work ethic and genius are as impressive as his character. I view partnering with Dean as one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. • I’m proud of Owner today. But I also feel scared that people will see our unicorn valuation and think “we’ve made it.” So let me be brutally clear. We HAVE NOT made it. And if we start to believe we have, we never will. When investors value us at $1B, it’s because they see potential. Our investors see the POTENTIAL for us to build a company worth tens of billions. We have to prove them right. And we must also prove right the thousands of restaurant owners who’ve bet their futures on us. • We’re still underdogs. We still have a long way to go. We didn’t come this far just to come this far. It’s time to move faster, build better, and fight harder! We have millions of small business owners counting on us.
