Owner has raised $240M, reached a $2.3B valuation, and crossed $100M ARR. Goldman Sachs Alternatives led the round, joined by Meritech, Redpoint, Headline, & Jack Altman. The world is racing to build AI to replace people’s jobs. Owner is building AI to do the opposite:

Owner’s Head of AI Developer Experience, Max Schwenk, writes about tsrs: a Rust port of TypeScript’s typechecker that cut our monorepo’s typecheck from 80 seconds to 7. Cloudflare and VoidZero are taking over tsrs as part of Oxc, in close collaboration with the TypeScript team.

tsrs allows more us to run more agents working in parallel on our laptops and in our cloud sandboxes. For Owner, these typecheck and lint changes are projected to save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Across large TypeScript codebases, that could add up to hundreds of millions over time.

A Rust port of TypeScript, written entirely by agents, cut our typecheck from 80 seconds to 7.

Load the menu slower and people buy less food. Faster page = more revenue, and now there's real data on it. Owner is a 776 co and this is the kind of unglamorous infra work that actually moves the needle for these small businesses. xitter.cf/owner/status/211007066…

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) xitter.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!
