Independent and bootstrapped.
OXOM isn't owned by an investor or a bank that only cares about growth, and that's a good thing. It lets me focus entirely on the creators who use OXOM.
For you
What this means for you.
You write to a person.
Your message reaches me, not a ticketing system. I read it myself and I answer myself.
Your feedback counts.
What you suggest doesn't end up on a list nobody ever opens. Often it turns into a feature.
No outside pressure.
I don't have to hit numbers for a next funding round. Decisions follow what helps creators.
Funding
Support yes, influence no.
Companies can support OXOM, for example with credits or discounts from startup programs. That doesn't buy them a say.
- Equity
- I don't give any away. There are no investors.
- Grants
- I accept them when they come without strings. They are listed openly on the partner page, even after they've ended.
- Opinion
- Stays mine. A grant from Anthropic doesn't change how I think about other providers or which ones I use.
- Advertising
- The apps are ad-free. On oxom.de there are only labeled recommendations, which you can switch off in the footer. Money pays for the space, not for my opinion.
- Creators
- Supporting OXOM with a contribution earns no bonuses, no priority and no special features. Everyone is treated the same.
Want to support OXOM?
With a one-time contribution, no strings attached. Or tell other creators about it.
