Why the Founding Circle Exists

Every week professionals lose hundreds of hours to manual meeting notes. Existing tools record and store audio in the cloud – illegal in courtrooms, healthcare, and secure client meetings.

BarnOwl solves this: AI‑powered meeting notes that never leave your computer. No recording. Complete privacy. Local AI that works where recording is prohibited.

  • Consultants (Management, Strategy)
  • Legal Professionals (Attorneys, Paralegals)
