Founders Miguel Guerrero and Clarence Williams designed the small-business solution to simplify digital marketing and introduce automated strategies to drive performance.

“The timing of Otis is crucial because the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of small businesses. Otis is the perfect solution for these businesses to connect with their customers and find new ones online,” says CEO Miguel Guerrero.

The financing came after the company crossed $1M annual revenue and secured strategic channel partnerships in the SMB space. This progress was fueled by an earlier $1M pre-seed round, raised from top executives in the fintech space.
