Overview

Ownli, formerly known as Parked, is a personal data platform that enables individuals to capture, control, and earn from their information while giving businesses reliable and verified insights. The company operates a centralized and independent exchange where quality data is traded ethically, transparently, and securely between people and businesses. Founded in 2020 by Elan Nyer, the platform addresses the growing disconnect between data creators and the companies that use that data.

Ownli works primarily with property and casualty insurers, helping them cut premium leakage and increase customer retention. The platform allows insurers to purchase verified data directly from policyholders and prospects, including accurate vehicle mileage, vehicle condition, garaging location, and more. By eliminating middleman data providers, Ownli gives consumers direct control and compensation for their data while providing insurers with higher-quality, consent-based information.

The insurance customer acquisition market represents over $14 billion, fueled by insurers' reliance on third-party data providers and lead generators. Ownli aims to disrupt this model by creating a privacy-first approach where users self-report data without tracking or hardware, choosing what to share and who can buy their data. The platform has certified over 500,000 data points and distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in rewards to tens of thousands of active users.
