Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Lots of people have great ideas, but the skills needed as an entrepreneur don't necessarily include the time-consuming and difficult work of business administration. Doola is a "business in a box" service, aiming to provide everything a startup needs to launch as a limited liability company in the US, including a bank account, tax support, and access to US payments.
Doola is aimed squarely at smaller-scale businesses and the creator economy, which is a smart move given the rapid proliferation of small-scale startups in recent years. This is partly driven by the US Census's project to generate millions of new business applications and by the rise of monetized content platforms like Twitch and Youtube. So far doola has been used to launch thousands of companies from 130 different countries, and the company is experiencing 7x year-on-year growth.
Between 2022 and 2024, Doola closed funding rounds amounting to $9 million, which are being used to hire new talent in product, engineering, and R&D, and extend its marketing reach. In the longer term, the company is aiming to provide a payments solution, utilising the extensive data it has gathered on startup operations to offer financial services that will supplement its core product.

Company values
- Taking initiative with a full-stack mentality - We aren't a team that accomplishes goals by way of micro-managing. We're a team of self-starters who can take unclear initiatives and run with them. Each of us is a strong believer in fully owning and understanding the parameters of our projects and attacking tasks on an end-to-end basis to ensure they are followed through
- Strong opinions, loosely held - Here at doola, no questions or thoughts are considered off-limits. Everything we do is centered on delivering value to our customers. We can only do this well by leaving our pride and ego at the door. We own up to our mistakes and always share positive feedback with each other
- Communicate with candor - We are a global team working from multiple corners of the world. Our style is a hybrid of asynchronous and synchronous communication. That said, some things may get misinterpreted or lost in translation. We maneuver through this by embracing it in the spirit of strengthening our relationships. Always communicate with candor about what your intentions are
- Aim for your full potential - We are here to disrupt a stagnant industry and change the lives of millions of entrepreneurs. Where we at doola innovate comes from you and your intention of how you want to unlock your own potential. Be extraordinary, not ordinary
- Be trustworthy and always ready to help - We hold our mission dear in terms of turning entrepreneurs' dreams into reality. This means doing so compliantly and with high accuracy. Trust is a critical component of who we are and what we do - both with each other as team members and of course, with our customers
- Urgency and focus to execute - As a fast-paced, early-stage startup with a massive opportunity for the taking, urgency, and hustle are critical in order to get the ball moving. This is not a structured, slow-paced environment. Each day, we're facing new initiatives and opportunities. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour; with our global team, so are we
