100% U.S. Research, Development, & Manufacturing
All product research, engineering, and manufacturing for Oomnee is conducted in Texas. Co-founder Logan Henderson emphasizes:
“From prototype to pilot, every part of our hardware and software stack is being built right here in the USA. We chose off-the-shelf, modular components that allow us to scale intelligently, without sacrificing quality or ethics.”
By keeping production local, Oomnee benefits from strict regulatory oversight, maintains agile quality control, and supports American industrial workforce development, joining a growing cohort of veteran-owned manufacturing firms that wield outsized influence in U.S. industry.
Veteran- & Woman-Owned- A Dual Mission Advantage
Through Syracuse University's D'Aniello Institute for Veterans & Military Families, research shows that one in seven veterans owns a business, compared to one in fourteen among non-veterans. Additionally, there are over 97,000 women veteran‑owned businesses, representing more than $15 billion in economic impact.
Oomnee’s duo of veteran and female leadership aligns with federal initiatives championing entrepreneurship, such as V-WISE (Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship), supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration. As such, Oomnee Inc. stands at the intersection of service, gender equity, and manufacturing excellence.
AI-Powered Beverage Technology: Built for the Future
Oomnee’s AI-powered automated beverage machines use:
Facial and voice recognition
AI-powered drink personalization
Cashless payment systems
Self-cleaning surfaces
IoT-enabled inventory and maintenance alerts
Sustainable composting of spent coffee grounds, recyclable packaging, and solar energy cells for outdoor applications
These features create a fully autonomous, 24/7 wellness solution. Malika Henderson shares:
“We’re creating more than drinks, we are building everyday wellness access with integrity, backed by American accountability and pioneering technology.”
Strategic Benefits of a U.S. Production Model
Agile Quality Control: Rapid iteration through domestic prototyping facilities ensures fast problem-solving and scalability.
Federal Incentives and Procurement: Self-certified veteran- and woman-owned status gives Oomnee preferential access to government contracting opportunities and is fully aligned with programs like SBA’s V-WISE.
Economic Impact: Oomnee supports jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and supply-chain logistics, bolstering both workforce inclusion and local economic activity.
Supporting Veteran-Owned Manufacturing Excellence
Oomnee joins the ranks of established veteran-owned manufacturers known for discipline, innovation, and high-quality output. Just as companies like Flags of Valor emphasize quality and origin, Oomnee is setting a new benchmark for military-led, made-in-America tech products.
Pilot Deployments and Go-To-Market Steps
Oomnee is preparing for its first pilot deployments in U.S. hospitals, fitness centers, university campuses, and multi-family buildings. These installations will demonstrate not just machine functionality, but compliance with U.S. food safety regulations, supply logistics, and consumer response.
In conjunction, the startup is compiling its SBA-backed financing application, federal contracting affiliations, and manufacturing scaling strategy.
Final Statement from the Founders
“Our leadership, our tech, and our assembly are all rooted in U.S. values, from military discipline to women-led innovation,” said Logan Henderson. “Oomnee isn’t just a product, it’s a promise of wellness, autonomy, and American ingenuity.”
