As we bid farewell to the year 2023, we at Oamo take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve embarked on. This year has been a whirlwind of milestones, new features, and growth.

What is Oamo

Oamo is a platform that leverages anonymized zero-party data to match brands with consumers based on their distinct online behaviors. Users are rewarded for sharing data with brands of their choice if they are part of their target audience. This exchange unlocks personalized offers and promotions for the user, creating a win-win relationship where both parties create value together. Consumers maintain their privacy while engaging with brands that resonate with their interests, and businesses connect with genuinely interested individuals.

Milestones:

  • December 2022: The Oamo journey began with our co-founders’ vision to revolutionize the data ecosystem.
  • January 2023: Closed a $1.25 million pre-seed funding round led by White Star Capital.
  • February 2023: Hired employee #1.
  • June 2023: Got out of stealth and launched the MVP in staging environment.
  • August 2023: We launched Beta and attracted over 5K sign-ups.
  • September 2023: We officially launched the Oamo platform.
  • December 2023: Closing out the year with over 50k users, 9 brands using Oamo to match with their target audience, and over $28k in incentives distributed to users.

How Oamo works

This step-by-step explains the process of setting up an Oamo profile and opting in consensual relationships with brands and people.

  1. Users Sign Up with Oamo: An individual user can bind their Web3 Wallets and Web2 accounts such as Social Media Platforms (Facebook, X and Discord).
  2. An Oamo profile is created (Digital Identity): Oamo ensure users data is secure by encrypting their online behaviors and turning them into credentials.
  3. Explore Data Pools and Discover Brands: Browse and explore available data pools on Oamo created by brands. All while keeping User Privacy at the center of their exploration.
  4. Opt-In to Data Pools: Users have the option to voluntarily contribute their anonymous data to eligible data pools.
  5. Earn Rewards: Users receive an initial crypto token reward for choosing to participate in a data pool.
  6. Receive Tailored offers: Customers can now receive personalized offers from companies. These offers are sent directly via Oamo’s messaging system.

Driving User Conversion with Oamo

Oamo offers a remarkable advantage to brands by introducing a pay-for-conversions model. This means that brands only pay when their precisely targeted audience converts on an offer. By allowing brands to define the Data Pool Eligibility criteria, they gain valuable insights into the quality of users who are most likely to convert.

This approach not only maximizes the efficiency of marketing budgets but also ensures that brands are engaging with an audience that aligns with their ideal customer profile. Oamo’s focus on quality over quantity empowers brands to make data-driven decisions, resulting in more effective and cost-efficient marketing campaigns.

Making Waves Since Launch:

Since our launch, we’ve been on a mission to empower online citizens to own and monetize their data on their terms. Here are some key highlights:
