Today, I’m extreme­ly excit­ed to announce that WPBe­gin­ner Growth Fund has tak­en an invest­ment stake in Uncan­ny Owl, the par­ent com­pa­ny of a fast grow­ing Word­Press automa­tion plu­g­in, Uncan­ny Automa­tor, and a suite of e‑learning plu­g­ins for WordPress.

Over 25,000+ web­sites use Uncan­ny Owl plu­g­ins to auto­mate and grow their businesses.

About Uncanny Owl and Uncanny Automator Plugin

Uncan­ny Owl is a Toron­to based Word­Press com­pa­ny found­ed by Ryan Moore and Ken Young.

They spe­cial­ize in help­ing auto­mate Word­Press-pow­ered learn­ing plat­forms and mem­ber­ship sites to deliv­er com­pelling e‑learning solutions.

Their team is behind the fast grow­ing Word­Press automa­tion plu­g­in, Uncan­ny Automa­tor, which helps you auto­mate var­i­ous Word­Press admin tasks, so you can save time & money. 

It seam­less­ly inte­grates with many pop­u­lar Word­Press plu­g­ins and third-par­ty plat­forms, so you can eas­i­ly build automa­tion recipes with­out writ­ing any code (over 300 trig­gers & actions). 

In plain Eng­lish, it helps your Word­Press plu­g­ins talk to each oth­er, so you can do cool things like:

• Have 2 Word­Press sites talk to each oth­er – sell prod­ucts on one while cre­ate users & set­up access on another.
• Cre­ate but­tons that can auto­mat­i­cal­ly cre­ate user accounts and per­form oth­er actions in WordPress.
• Add cus­tom user attrib­ut­es to user pro­files based on user’s actions.
• Trig­ger automa­tion recipes in one plu­g­in from the action tak­en by anoth­er plu­g­in (for exam­ple, a sub­mis­sion of WPForms can be used to reg­is­ter a user in Mem­ber­Press, add them to a Bud­dy­Boss group, and get a cal­en­dar event added).
• Con­nect your Word­Press site with 2000+ exter­nal ser­vices using a sin­gle Zapi­er integration.
• … and so much more

Uncan­ny Owl is also known for their pop­u­lar Uncan­ny Toolk­it and oth­er e‑learning extensions.

Background Story — Why Uncanny Owl?

I got intro­duced to Uncan­ny Owl brand through their Uncan­ny Automa­tor plu­g­in because I have always wished some­thing like this exist­ed in WordPress.

Hav­ing the abil­i­ty for two plu­g­ins to talk to each oth­er and seam­less­ly auto­mate tasks is a dream come true. 

What’s even bet­ter is that they let you do it across two sites with­out writ­ing any code. The moment I saw it, I was like … this is Zapi­er for WordPress.

The fact that they had already built the prod­uct that would save web­site own­ers a lot of time, I want­ed to work with them.

Coin­ci­dent­ly, two of our mutu­al friends, Artur and Chris from Exten­di­fy, reached out and asked if I would be inter­est­ed in chat­ting with the Uncan­ny Owl founders to dis­cuss a deep­er partnership.

My answer was, absolutely!

After few con­ver­sa­tions, we decid­ed to join forces. 

I invest­ed in the Uncan­ny Owl busi­ness through the WPBe­gin­ner Growth Fund and will be advis­ing the team on how to expand their Word­Press prod­uct business.

At Awe­some Motive, we have years of expe­ri­ence build­ing pop­u­lar Word­Press plu­g­ins that are used by over 15 mil­lion web­sites includ­ing Opt­in­Mon­ster, WPForms, Mon­sterIn­sights, and many more.

Not to men­tion, our oth­er WPBe­gin­ner growth fund port­fo­lio com­pa­nies like Mem­ber­Press, For­mi­da­ble Forms, Pret­ty Links, Whole­sale Suite, and oth­ers have seen tremen­dous growth over the years.

Shar­ing our com­bined knowl­edge with Uncan­ny Owl will help all of us bet­ter serve the larg­er Word­Press community.

I’m real­ly excit­ed to be work­ing with Ryan, Ken, and the entire team to help accel­er­ate their growth in 2021 and beyond.

Thank you so much for your con­tin­ued sup­port of WPBeginner.

Sin­cere­ly,

Syed Balkhi
Founder of WPBeginner
