OARA Holdings Incorporated

What OARA Holdings Incorporated does

OARA Holdings Incorporated operates through its Malta-domiciled subsidiary OARA.io Limited to deliver a cloud-based royalty statement collection and reporting platform for the film and television industry. The product targets four workflow counterparties — licensors, sales agents, producers, and licensees/distributors — and is positioned to replace manual Excel-based statement workflows that remain prevalent in entertainment rights administration. The platform connects these counterparties to automate the submission, collection, review, and storage of royalty statements over a web interface and through native iOS and Android applications with offline capability.

The technical architecture is built on Ragic's online database management system and hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure, with security posture marketed as ISO 27001, SSAE-16, and SOC 1/2/3 compliant and traffic protected by HTTPS/SSL encryption. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions segmented by title count (Essential at €49/month for 1 title, Advanced at €399/month for 10 titles, Enterprise at €599/month for 20 titles, plus an Ultimate tier for unlimited titles), with a 17% annual prepay discount and an optional Data Management Services add-on for clients that prefer OARA staff-driven data entry rather than self-service. The company operates a two-sided commercial model in which paying licensors may invite licensees to participate free of charge, intentionally seeding the counterparty side of the network to reduce adoption friction.

OARA was co-founded by Jochen Hesse and Jobst Upmeier — founding partners of the RevCheck audit and verification firm — together with Brad Kembel, former Head of International Distribution at Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment, lending the company direct domain credibility in film distribution and royalty auditing. The business has established technology and channel partnerships with Ragic Inc. and Freeway Entertainment Group respectively, and is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding and a 1–10 employee headcount, positioning it as an early-stage, founder-controlled niche vertical SaaS.
