Owners Circle의 사업 내용

OwnersCircle provides small business owners with the online tools and financial information that they need in order to navigate the complex world of business financing. The reality is that there is no easy way to search for small business financial products, which creates a headache for already time-strapped business owners. Recent reports show that owners spend an enormous amount of time (25 hrs on average) searching and applying for loan products, with many focusing on lenders that have high rejection rates and long, complex processes. There's a better way! There are a growing number of banks and alternative lenders that want to work with small businesses and are willing to compete for their business. Our platform provides owners with the information they need in order to identify, compare, and apply for financial products that can help take their business to the next level. Why Use OwnersCircle? 1. Get access to free, online tools to identify financial institutions that actively lend to growing small businesses 2. Shop and compare a variety of lenders and their loan products 3. Use one platform to complete your financing search versus spending countless days researching and completing lender applications only to find out you're not a fit 4. Free access to our team of funding consultants to answer any questions you may have throughout the process What Types of Business Financial Products does OwnersCircle Include? - Lender Types: Local Banks and Alternative Lenders - Product Types: SBA Term Loans, Bank Term Loans, Alternative Term Loans, Asset-based Loans and more Why Would I Need Business Financing?

Kickstarter for local businesses

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an online platform that helps small business owners find, compare, and apply for local bank and alternative lender loans. The site includes tools to identify lenders actively working with growing businesses and lets owners complete financing applications in one place instead of navigating many complex lender sites.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Berkeley, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berkeley puts us close to a vibrant small business community and a hub of fintech innovation. It's where we live and have network ties, so it's the natural base for Owners Circle.

자주 묻는 질문

Owners Circle의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Owners Circle의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Owners Circle과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
