I spent it trying to make other people's software fit my business.
Every platform charged me per head — as if my growth was a tax they got to collect. Every workflow demanded I bend my business to fit their model.
So I built the thing I wished existed. A system built FROM my business, not retro-fitted to it. Trained on my SOPs. Priced on what I actually use.
Then I decided to give it to other small businesses.
That's OwnOS.
