Aryah Oztanir is Co-Founder and CEO of o11, an AI-native Microsoft 365 suite backed by Y Combinator (W26) and LeapYear. At 19, he took leave from a full-ride at UNC to move to SF and build the future of AI for capital markets.
Aryah was a Morehead-Cain Scholar and previously founded ERA-0, an AI-powered search engine that streamlines finding verified business contacts and email addresses, reducing the time from days to just minutes. He also founded citysprout.org and klubspace.com.
Within four days of posting about ERA-0 on LinkedIn, the company fostered 7,000 connections between users and contacts in its database, helped users discover over 1,000 real companies, and validated over 10,000 emails. Aryah studied Business and Computer Science at UNC Chapel Hill.
o11 has raised $530K in funding and is the first company to build a full-featured AI native execution layer within the entire Microsoft 365 suite, serving financial firms, enterprise organizations, and Office 365 power users.
o11 brings extreme operational efficiency to teams of any size, transforming documents, decks, spreadsheets, and files into a dynamic knowledge layer that drives research, modeling, and client ready deliverables with consistent precision.
