ONMAE LLC

ONMAE: Your Cofounder

ONMAE is made by founders, for founders.

Building, scaling, and shaping startups from idea to market.

We do one thing. And we do it well.

ONMAE is your operational partner. Whether you are a founder with an idea or a corporate seeking innovation, we step in and create what you need.

We validate, we build, and we scale with you.

No batches.

No cohorts.

Just curated startups.

Curation

We choose strategically. Not every idea becomes a startup we build. But those we build, are designed for success.

Co-founder commitment

We’re not advisors watching from the sidelines. We’re in the operational trenches with you.

Global from day 1

The goal of going global is embedded in each startup we build, connecting founders with opportunities globally.

One Goal. Three Entry Points

  • 1. Pre-Incubation for Founders
  • 2. Business Development for Existing Startups
  • 3. Open Innovation for Corporates
