Owners ID Raises $260,000 Pre-seed

Owners ID, a Bengaluru-based recovery-tech startup building a digital identity layer for physical belongings, has raised $260,000 in a pre-seed funding.

This round was led by Dubai-based venture capital firm Crucifer Investments.

The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, enhance the company's technology platform, scale manufacturing capabilities, and strengthen its AI-powered recovery systems. Owners ID also plans to invest in improving its mobile application and expanding its presence in international markets.

Founded by Jesintha Louis, Owners ID uses privacy-first QR technology to help individuals recover lost or misplaced belongings without exposing personal contact information. By scanning a QR-enabled tag attached to an item, finders can securely connect with owners through the platform. The company's product portfolio covers luggage, travel accessories, keys, wallets, passports, electronics, vehicles, and other personal valuables. Its solution is designed to work globally using standard smartphone cameras and QR scanning technology,
